An Audit plan is the specific guideline to be followed when conducting an audit. It helps the auditor obtain sufficient appropriate evidence for the circumstances, helps keep audit costs at a reasonable level, and helps avoid misunderstandings with the client.
It addresses the specifics of what, where, who, when and how:
What are the audit objectives?
Where will the audit be done? (i.e. scope)
When will the audit(s) occur? (how long?)
Who are the auditors?
How will the audit be done?" [Audit plan. Wikipedia]

"Site Audits.
In addition to audit coverage utilizing the single audit approach, The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Audit Office (AUD) conducts requested site audits each year on selected projects. Site audits are handled using AUD’s normal site audit procedures. AUD forwards any findings noted during the audit directly to the subgrantee for collection of the moneys due or other resolution as appropriate. Information copies are provided to the TRF-TS program managers and to the districts when appropriate."
