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.
The higher the risk of material misstatements the lower should audit risk be taken. True or false

- Inquiries of clients and reperformance normally have a low cost to perform. True False When analytical procedures reveal no unusual fluctuations in an account balance, the auditor will probably perform fewer test of details of balance for that account. True False When analytical procedures reveal no unusual fluctuations in an account balance, the auditor will probably perform fewer test of controls for that account. True False Analytical procedures can be used to provide reliable evidence for all balance-related general audit objectives. True False One advantage of using statical techniques when performing analytical procedures is that they eliminate the need for auditor judgement.
