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

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
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
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.
Which of the following is correct about control risk? Select one: a. None of the others b. The risk that a material misstatement could occur in a relevant assertion and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the entity’s internal control. c. It is an alternative to substantive testing d. It is the same as inherent risk.
If there is a detection of one control deviation, the auditor can do which of the following? a. Increase the sample size O b. Test a compensation control Oc. Amend the auditor's decision to rely on the control O d. All of the above are options for an auditor responding to detection of a control deviatic
The difference between assessing control risk for IT control activities versus assessing control risk for manual control activities is best described as follows: Multiple Choice О in a manual environment it is important for the auditor to gain an understanding of the internal control activity before assessing control risk. О in an IT environment, it is not important to gain an understanding of the internal control activity before assessing control risk. О In an IT environment, it is likely that control risk will be assessed as low on largely all audit engagements. О the assessment process that needs to be undertaken for IT controls is essentially the same as would be taken for manual controls.
