Self-Assessment Questions
5 scenario-based questions with instant feedback. Does not affect your certification status.
Q1 — You upload a 60-page SOP and ask NotebookLM to identify key controls. It returns 8 controls. You expected at least 15. What do you do?
✅ Best answer: Search the original document directly for the controls you expected. Very long documents may be under-indexed. Treat the AI output as a starting point. Your professional judgement is the final control.
Q2 — A vendor emails Finance to update their bank account details. The email looks professional. What is the correct process?
✅ Best answer: Do not update based on the email alone. Telephone the vendor on their registered number to verify. Obtain Director of Finance approval. Document both steps. This is the primary Business Email Compromise vector.
Q3 — You have 5 engagement notebooks from this quarter. You want to identify systemic findings across all. How?
✅ Best answer: Generate a Briefing Doc from each engagement notebook. Create a new annual master notebook. Upload all 5 Briefing Docs. Tick all sources. Run the cross-finding synthesis prompt. This is the two-tier architecture.
Q4 — NotebookLM returns a finding with a citation. You click it and the source passage does not quite support the finding. What do you do?
✅ Best answer: Do not use the finding as stated. Rephrase it to accurately reflect what the source actually says, or find a stronger citation. A finding without adequate source support cannot enter the audit report.
Q5 — Your manager asks why you used AI in the audit. What is your professional rationale?
✅ Best answer: NotebookLM is source-grounded — it only answers from documents you upload and every claim is cited. It accelerates document review while maintaining a verifiable evidence trail. All AI-assisted outputs were verified against source documents before inclusion in the work papers.
