How to conduct a software audit? (lemmy.pe1uca.dev)

I need to help auditing a project from another team.
I got the pointers on what's expected to be checked, but I don't have like templates for documents for what's expected from an audit report which also means I'm not sure what's the usual process to conduct an internal audit.
I mean I might as well read the whole repo, but maybe that's too much?

Any help or pointers on what I need to investigate to get started would be great!

I won’t lie, I’m a bit curious why someone asked someone who has never performed an audit to perform one, what they’re actually hoping to find, and what they plan on doing with the results…

Maybe they see OP as the best candidate for an audit or code review, who has good enough skills, has time available, and is an internal resource

I’m just having trouble calling that an “audit”.
