This document discusses audit risk and the risk assessment process. It defines inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. The auditor assesses inherent and control risks to determine planned detection risk. Risk assessment procedures include inquiries, analytical procedures, observations, team discussions, and other procedures. Significant risks requiring special audit consideration include non-routine transactions, matters requiring significant judgment, and risks of fraud. The audit risk model shows the relationship between acceptable audit risk, inherent risk, and control risk in determining planned detection risk.

Audit Risk Risk : the acceptance by the auditors that there is some level of uncertainty in performing the audit function. a. Risk of Material Misstatement : Risk that relate pervasively to the financial statements as a whole and potentially affect a number of different transactions and account.
b. Risk of Material Misstatement at the assertion level : - Inherent risk : represents the auditor’s assessment of the susceptibility of an assertion to material misstatement, before considering the effectiveness of client’s internal control. - Control Risk : represent the auditor’s assessment of the risk that a material misstatement could occur in an assertion and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the client’s internal control.
Risk Assessment Procedure Include the following : 1. Inquiries of management and others 2. Analytical Procedures 3. Observation and inspection 4. Discussion among engagement team members 5. Other risk assessment procedures
Considering Fraud Risk The audit must be planned and performed with an attitude of professional skepticism, consist of two components; a questioning mind and a critical assessment of audit evidence.
Identification of Significant Risks Significant Risk : represent an identifies and assessed risk of material misstatement that in the auditor’s professional judgement, requires special audit considerations. Non-routine transactions : - Transactions that are unusual, either due to size or nature and that are infrequent in occurrence - May increase the risk of material misstatement because they often involve a greater extent of management intervention.
Matters that require significant judgment : - Because include the development of accounting estimates for which significant measurement uncertainly exists. Fraud Risk : - Involve concealment -> difficult to detect - Auditor needs to consider sifgnificant risk which triggers required responses to those risks Audit Risk Model
PDR = AAR / (IR X CR)
PDR = Planned Detection Risk AAR = Acceptable Audit Risk IR = Inherent Risk CR = Control Risk
PDR is the risk that audit evidence for an audit objective will fail to detect misstatements exceeding performance materiality.
IR measures the auditor’s assessment of the susceptibility of an assertion to material misstatement, before considering the effectiveness of related internal controls.
CR measures the auditor’s assessment of the risk that a material misstatement could occur in an assertion and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by client’s internal control.
AAR is a measure of how willing the auditor is to accept that the finansial statement may be materially misstated after the audit is completed and an unmodified opinion has been issued.
