- Audit risks for particular accounts and disclosures can be conceptualized in the model: Audit risk (AR) = Inherent risk (IR) × Control risk (CR) × Detection risk (DR). Use this model as a framework for considering the following situations and deciding whether the auditor’s conclusion is appropriate.a. Paul, CPA, has participated in the audit of Tordik Cheese Company for five years, first as an assistant accountant and the last two years as the senior accountant. Paul has never seen an accounting adjustment recommended and believes the inherent risk must be zero.b.

As a result of this information, what approach might the auditing firm take with respect to internal control? O The external auditors will be required to obtain written assurances from senior management, documenting the effectiveness of the new system of internal control, for inclusion in the audit file. O The auditor is likely to proceed with testing of the new controls, and if the new system is determined to be robust and effective, the auditor will issue a qualified opinion on internal control. O The auditor may presume that their previous understanding of internal control is no longer valid, and will likely amend audit procedures to document the effectiveness of the new system.
