Interim, Final and Forensic auditing. Interim audit involves provision of auditing services on quarterly figures while final audit involves provision of auditing services on the full years financial statements. Forensic auditing on the other hand involves obtaining evidence about court cases. The main advantage of an interim audit is that accurate audit findings are available as there is little work available. In a final audit, quarterly figures might have already been audited hence accurate audit opinion.
