Explanation of Solution

Audit risk is a risk that auditor may provide an inappropriate audit opinion. There are three components of the audit risk; inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. Engagement risk is a risk that auditor may lose the client and may face revenue losses due to loss of client. Audit risk is an adjustable risk and it can be minimized by adjusting the detection risk but engagement risk is not under the control of the auditor.
