Audits
This excerpt at: https://tinyurl.com/4bvvz5ps is taken from training materials for auditors. I can’t understand what ‘’at a high level’’ means as used in this context.
‘’WE’’ means ‘’the auditor'' or auditors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

at the level of the senior people involved
This is about how an audit firm works. It means they carry out operations in contact and consultation with the senior people involved.

: yes, the part of their auditing work that is done with people "at the senior level" // if they do their job properly, they'll end up talking to far more people that just just the ones at the top.

at the high(er) level of decision making
that part of your ST is about communicating with those "at high hierarchical level" within the audited company or institution, those who make the internal rules (as opposed to those who only follow / apply them as they are)

Look at these examples: 1. The crisis was finally resolved through high-level negotiations .
2. She holds a high-level position .
In Administration or management, there is always a structure, Some decisions are taken by people at high level.

: when it comes to this kind of "levels" there is no such thing as "normal" or "average" // makes about as much sense as describing a sound as "green" or "red"// there is no such thing as "average" or "normal" level of management!!!!
