Yes the elements of audit report and management letter are different. Audit report is just an opinion by the auditor of whether the accouting statements or accounting report are prepared in true and fair manner. management letter is more useful tool for the company to use. it has all the deficencies found by the auditor and the steps recommended by the auditor to make operations better
