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 deviaticarrow_forwardWhy 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following regarding the level of materiality is correct? Select one: a. An increase in materiality will decrease the amount of substantive testing b. In order to decrease detection risk, the auditor would increase materiality. c. A higher risk of material misstatement will require an increase in materiality d. A decrease in materiality will result in a decrease in the cost of an auditarrow_forward
- Which of the following is appropriate about risk assessment? A. The assessed level of inherent and control risk can be sufficiently low, thus resulting to eliminating the need for substantive tests. 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 riskarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct regarding detection risk and the audit risk model? OA. The two components of detection risk are test of details risk and inherent risk. B. Detection risk is equal to risk of material misstatement divided by audit risk. OC. There is an inverse relationship between the risk of material misstatement and detection risk. OD. There is a direct relationship between control risk and detection risk.arrow_forwardInherent risk is: a. the risk of a misstatement occurring irrespective of any internal controls put in place by management. b. the risk that the auditor's testing procedures will not detect a material misstatement. c. assessed as high when there are no internal controls tested or relied upon by the auditor. d. assessed as low when there are good internal controls in place. Choose the correct answer and explain why it is the correct answerarrow_forward
- Which of the following does NOT accurately describe detection risk? O assessed as low when control risk and inherent risk are assessed as high O increases in indirect proportion to the amount of substantive testing performed O inverse relationship between detection risk and the auditor's assessed risk of material misstatement O risk that the auditor's testing procedures will not detect a material misstatementarrow_forwardOn the basis of audit evidence gathered and evaluated, an auditor decides to decrease the level of detection risk from that originally planned. Assuming the same planned audit risk level, the change in the planned detection risk most likely resulted from a[n) A. Increase in the assessed control risk B.Increase in materiality levels. C. Decrease in the assessed inherent risk D.Decrease in the assessed citrol risk.arrow_forwardIn deciding upon the acceptable risk of incorrect acceptance for an account, an auditor considers each of the following except a. Audit risk. b.Tolerable error. c.The risk that internal controls fail to detect material misstatements that have occurred. d. The risk that analytical procedures and other tests fail to detect material errors that occur and that are not detected by internal control.arrow_forward
