Question 1

Detection risk is

Accepted Answer

Detection risk is the risk that substantive audit procedures fail to detect a material misstatement in the financial statements. Option A is referring to inherent risk, Option B is referring to control risk, and Option D is referring to the risk of issuing an incorrect opinion.

Question 2

The audit program describes the evidence to be gathered during the audit process.Audit program documentation demonstrates to an outside reviewer

Accepted Answer

An audit program documentation shows that the audit was planned, as it outlines the procedures and evidence to be gathered, demonstrating the auditor's intention and preparation for the audit process.

Question 3

The only risk controlled by the auditor is

Accepted Answer

Detection risk is the only risk controlled by the auditor. Inherent risk and control risk are inherent to the nature of the business and cannot be controlled by the auditor. The risk of material misstatement is a combination of inherent risk and control risk, but the auditor can only control the level of detection risk in response.

Question 4

The risk of material misstatement is a function of

Accepted Answer

The risk of material misstatement is a combination of inherent risk and control risk, which are the two components of the client's risk. Inherent risk refers to the susceptibility of an assertion to a material misstatement, while control risk refers to the likelihood that a material misstatement could occur and not be prevented or detected by the client's internal controls. These two risks together determine the overall risk of material misstatement. The auditor then assesses detection risk, which refers to the risk that the auditor's procedures will not detect a material misstatement, and combines it with inherent risk and control risk to determine the appropriate level of substantive testing. However, the risk of material misstatement itself is primarily driven by the inherent risks and control risks associated with the client's operations and financial reporting.

Question 5

Control risk is

Accepted Answer

Control risk is the risk that internal controls fail to prevent or detect misstatements in the financial statements. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A refers to inherent risk, while option C refers to detection risk, and option D refers to audit risk.

Question 6

The audit risk model is a theoretical model designed to guide the decision process of the auditor.The model could be used as an equation to calculate detection risk,but it is probably more useful to think of the model as expressing relationships among the risks included in the model.Some of these relationships include

Accepted Answer

A higher detection risk means that the auditor is willing to accept a higher chance of not detecting a material misstatement, which typically results in less substantive testing being done.

Question 8

The auditor should document the audit strategy in the form of a memorandum containing the key decisions about the scope,timing,and conduct of the audit.This documentation

Accepted Answer

The audit strategy memorandum includes a list of key decisions necessary to plan the audit, such as the scope, timing, and conduct, which are essential for guiding the audit process.

Question 9

The auditor should document the audit strategy in the form of a memorandum containing the key decisions about the scope,timing,and conduct of the audit.This documentation

Accepted Answer

The audit strategy memorandum provides the foundation for developing the detailed audit plan, addressing the important issues identified during the strategy phase.

Question 10

The auditing standards define audit risk as the risk that

Accepted Answer

Audit risk is the risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate audit opinion when the financial statements are materially misstated.

Question 11

Which of the following statements is correct?

Accepted Answer

Detection risk is the risk that the auditor will not detect a material misstatement that exists in an assertion. The auditor can control this risk by adjusting the amount of substantive testing performed. The other types of risks mentioned (inherent risk, control risk, and audit risk) are not directly controlled by the amount of testing the auditor does.

Question 12

The audit risk model is a theoretical model designed to guide the decision process of the auditor.The model could be used as an equation to calculate detection risk,but it is probably more useful to think of the model as expressing relationships among the risks included in the model.Some of these relationships include

Accepted Answer

Detection risk determines the amount of substantive testing needed. A higher risk of material misstatement leads to a lower detection risk, requiring more substantive evidence, not less. Substantive testing is always necessary because the risk of material misstatement is never zero.

Question 13

The auditor should document the audit strategy in the form of a memorandum containing the key decisions about the scope,timing,and conduct of the audit.This documentation

Accepted Answer

The auditor should document the audit strategy in the form of a memorandum containing the key decisions about the scope, timing, and conduct of the audit, and this documentation is a required part of the work papers. The memorandum provides direction and guidance to the audit team and serves as a reference for future audits. It is not typically used to communicate the planning process to the client or provide the basis for the audit report, as these are separate documents.

Question 14

The audit risk model is a theoretical model designed to guide the decision process of the auditor.The model could be used as an equation to calculate detection risk,but it is probably more useful to think of the model as expressing relationships among the risks included in the model.Some of these relationships include

The answer of The audit risk model is a theoretical...

Question 15

The documentation of the audit plan is a record of

Accepted Answer

The documentation of the audit plan should reflect the nature, timing, and extent of risk assessment procedures and additional audit procedures at the relevant assertion level in response to assessed risks. The plan should be tailored to the specific risks identified during the risk assessment process, which may require additional procedures beyond those required by auditing standards. The plan should be well-documented and include the basis for the auditor's professional judgment regarding the nature, timing, and extent of procedures to be performed.

Question 16

The specific procedures listed on the audit plan depend on

Accepted Answer

The specific procedures listed on the audit plan depend on the outcome of the risk assessment procedures. The risk assessment procedures help to identify the areas where risks of material misstatement are higher, which, in turn, determines the specific procedures to be performed.

Question 17

The audit risk model is a theoretical model designed to guide the decision process of the auditor.The model could be used as an equation to calculate detection risk,but it is probably more useful to think of the model as expressing relationships among the risks included in the model.Some of these relationships include

Accepted Answer

Audit risk is typically set at a constant level by the auditor, representing the acceptable level of risk that the auditor is willing to accept that the financial statements may be materially misstated after the audit is completed.

Question 18

The audit program describes the evidence to be gathered during the audit process.Audit program documentation demonstrates to an outside reviewer

Accepted Answer

The audit program documentation should align with the risks of material misstatement identified during the planning stage of the audit. This demonstrates that the auditors have properly assessed the risks and have designed appropriate procedures to address them. The other options may also be demonstrated through the audit program documentation, but aligning with the identified risks is the most important factor.

Question 19

Inherent risk is

Accepted Answer

Inherent risk refers to the susceptibility of management assertions in an accounting business process to a material misstatement assuming no internal controls. It is a risk that exists independently of internal controls and is influenced by factors such as the nature of the account balance, transaction class, or disclosure involved.

Question 20

The auditor should document the audit strategy in the form of a memorandum containing the key decisions about the scope,timing,and conduct of the audit.This documentation

Accepted Answer

The audit strategy memorandum communicates the planning process to engagement team members, ensuring everyone is aligned on the scope, timing, and conduct of the audit.
