The reason manufacturing company auditors may not visit foreign branch companies is that their jurisdiction and authority typically cover the auditing of the parent company's financial statements and operations within the country where the company is registered. Auditing foreign branch companies involves additional complexities, including legal and regulatory differences, language barriers, and logistical challenges. Therefore, it is common for manufacturing company auditors to rely on the audit reports and financial statements prepared by auditors in the respective foreign jurisdictions where the branch companies are located. The manufacturing company auditor may request copies of these audit reports for their review and assessment, ensuring compliance and consistency with the parent company's financial reporting requirements.

The decision for a manufacturing company auditor to visit a foreign branch company may depend on various factors, including the size and complexity of the organization, the extent of operations conducted by the foreign branch, and the specific requirements of the audit engagement.

Auditors typically perform their work based on the concept of materiality. If the operations of the foreign branch are not considered material to the overall financial statements of the manufacturing company, the auditor may choose not to visit the foreign branch and instead rely on other audit procedures to gather sufficient and appropriate audit evidence.
