Applying substantive tests to the details of asset and liability accounts as of an interim date, rather than as the balance sheet date: Eliminates the use of certain statistical sampling methods that would otherwise be available, Presumes that the auditor will reperform the tests as of the balance sheet date, Should be especially considered when there are rapidly changing economic conditions, Potentially increases the risk that errors which exist at the balance sheet date will not be detected
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.
7) In an environment that is highly automated an auditor determines that it is not possible to reduce detection risk solely by using substantive test of transactions. Under these circumstances the auditor most likely would: Perform test of controls to support a lower level of assessed risk. Increase sample size to reduce sampling risk and detection risk. Adjust the materiality level and consider the effect on inherent risk Apply analytical procedures and consider the effect on control risk
What is another way of saying "Interest earned on interest"?
When an audior increases the assessed level of control risk because certain control activities were determined to be ineffective, the auditor would most likely increase the: A. extent of tests of control B. level of detection risk C. extent of tests of detail D. Level of inherent risk
In audit sampling applications, sampling risk isa. A characteristic of statistical sampling applications but not of nonstatistical applications.b. The probability that the audit team will fail to recognize erroneous accounting in the client’sdocumentation.c. The probability that accounting misstatements will arise in transactions and enter theaccounting system.d. The probability that an audit team’s conclusion based on a sample might be differentfrom the conclusion based on an audit of the entire population.
Financial audit Q&A What risks that may occur during assertion testing, but cannot be prevented due to the lack of time?
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 Arthus Andersen audited Enron, they should have recognized an acceptable level of detection risk is inversely related to the: a. Assurance provided by substantive testing b.
