The test plan serves as a blueprint to conduct software testing activities as a defined process which is minutely monitored and controlled by the test manager. so now let us see the importance of testing:

• Test Plan helps us determine the effort needed to validate the quality of the application under test
• Help people outside the test team such as developers, business managers, customers understandthe details of testing.
• Test Plan guides our thinking. It is like a rule book, which needs to be followed.
• Important aspects like test estimation, test scope, test strategy are documented in Test Plan, so it can be reviewed by Management Team and re-used for other projects.

In other words, Quality Assurance makes sure the Test Manager is doing the right things in the right way.

Audit is done to improve the overall process and insure the quaity of software, for that there are some points which need to be considered to improve the overall quality and insure that quality of product is good :
