implications

[Hanka]

Hi,

could you please tell me what "audit implications of exceptions" are in the following text:

Where reliance has been placed on controls, have you documented the work done on testing controls necessary to provide audit evidence that control procedures are operating as described, and considered the audit implications of exceptions?

Thank you very much.

Hanka

That is techno-speak (technical language). More context might be helpful. (It also might not be.)
