Using your knowledge of the relationships among acceptable audit risk, inherent risk, control risk, planned detection risk, performance materiality, and planned evidence, state the effect on planned evidence (increase or decrease) of changing each of the following factors, while the other factors remain unchanged. an increase in acceptable audit risk ________ an increase in inherent risk ________ a decrease in control risk ________ an increase in planned detection risk ________ an increase in performance materiality ________
As the acceptable level of detection risk increases, an auditor may: Oa. Lower the assessed level of inherent risk. O b. Eliminate the assessed level of control risk from consideration as a planning factor. O c. Change the planned timing of substantive tests from year-end to interim. Od. Increase the risk of material misstatement.
When an auditor decreases the planned assessed level of control risk because certain control procedures were determined to be more effective than anticipated, the auditor would most likely increase the: a. Extent of tests of details. b. Level of inherent risk. c. Extent of tests of controls. d. Level of detection risk.
Based on evidence gathered and evaluated, an auditor decides to increase the assessedlevel of control risk from that originally planned. To achieve an overall audit risklevel that is substantially the same as the planned audit risk level, the auditor could(1) decrease detection risk. (3) decrease substantive testing.(2) increase materiality levels. (4) increase inherent risk.
The lower the materiality level, the higher the amount of required evidence from substantive procedures to compensate for increased risk. Further audit procedures include risk assessment procedures, test of controls and substantive tests. Group of answer choices False, True True, False True, True False, False
As the acceptable level of detection risk decreases, an auditor may: A. reduce substantive testing by rrelying on the assessment of inherent risk and control risk. B. postpone the planned timing of substantive tests from interim dates to the year-end. C.Eliminate the assessed level of inherent risk from consideration as a planning factor. D. lower the assessed level of control risk
On the basis of audit evidence gathered and evaluated, an auditor decides to increaseassessed control risk from that originally planned. To achieve an audit risk level (AcAR)that is substantially the same as the planned audit risk level (AAR), the auditor will(1) increase inherent risk. (3) decrease substantive testing.(2) increase materiality levels. (4) decrease planned detection risk.
Which of the following is appropriate about risk assessment? A. The assessed level of inherent and control risk can be sufficiently low, thus resulting to eliminating the need for substantive tests. B. Audit risk may be more effectively determined by assessing inherent and control risk separately. C. Detection risk is eliminated if an auditor were to examine 100 percent off the account balance or class of transactions. D. There is an iverse relationship between detection risk and the combined level of inherent and control risk
Why is the audit team more concerned with controlling the exposure to the risk of overreliancethan with the risk of underreliance?a. Only the risk of overreliance results in an incorrect audit decision.b. The risk of underreliance is not related to the audit team’s study and evaluation of internalcontrol.c. The risk of overreliance can ultimately result in the audit team’s failing to reduce auditrisk to acceptable levels.d. The risk of underreliance can be controlled by performing tests of controls during theinterim period.
(c) Using your knowledge of the relationships among acceptable audit risk, inherent risk, control risk, planned detection risk, performance materiality, and planned evidence, State the effect that changing each of the following factors, while the other factors remain unchanged will have on planned work and evidence (state whether it will increase or decrease the planned audit work and evidence ) 1. an increase in acceptable audit risk 2. an increase in inherent risk 3. a decrease in control risk 4. an increase in planned detection risk 5. an increase in performance materiality
As the acceptable level of detection risk decreases, an auditor may change the a. Timing of substantive tests by performing them at an interim date rather than at year-end. b. Assessed level of control risk. c. Timing of tests of controls by performing them at several dates rather than at one time. d. Assessed level of inherent risk to a higher amount. e. Nature of substantive procedures from a less effective to a more effective procedure.
If the tests of controls indicate certain controls are not as effective as the auditor originally believed, which of the following will result? Select all that apply. O increased number of substantive procedures will be planned O audit planning strategy adjusted O control risk will be increased O detection risk is increased O increased number of control tests will be performed
