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!

Maybe the word "audit" is incorrect? If they didn't provide you any guidelines, I'd definitely recommend asking. But it's possible they're just looking for your perspective on best practices and possible improvement ideas, more like a general code review.
