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.
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 risk
In 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.

- Which 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_forwardWhich of the following is not the factor to be considered by an auditor while performing analytical procedures? O a. Develop expectation of recorded amounts or ratios and evaluate whether the expectation is sufficiently precise to identify misstatement O b. Evaluate reliability of data O c Determine suitability of overall audit strategy O d. Determine suitability of particular substantive analytical procedure for given assertionarrow_forwardWhich 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_forward
- When an auditor decreases the planned assessed level of control risk because certain control procedures were determined to be more effective than anticipated, the auditor would most likely increase the: a. Extent of tests of details. b. Level of inherent risk. c. Extent of tests of controls. d. Level of detection risk.arrow_forwardThe auditor is typically concerned with two major types of mistakes that materially impact the financial statements when testing controls and when performing substantive testing. Identify the pair of the major mistakes as: A) Risk of Assessing Control Risk Too Low/Risk of Incorrect Rejection B) Risk of Assessing Control risk Too High/Risk of Incorrect Rejection C) Risk of Assessing Control Risk Too Low/Risk of Incorrect Acceptancearrow_forwardWhich statement is false? a. If control risk is assessed as low, the auditor cannot plan on relying on the controls to increase substantive procedures for account balances. b. The auditor will not perform tests of controls; instead, the auditor must plan for substantive procedures, without relying on the client's internal controls. c. Based on obtaining an understanding through risk assessment procedures, the auditor assesses control risk ranging from high (weak controls) to low (strong controls). d. Assessing control risk as high means the auditor does not have confidence that internal controls will prevent or detect material misstatements; assessing control risk as low has the opposite implication.arrow_forward
- If the auditor uses the primarily substantive apporach instead of the lower control risk approach A. A higher level of understanding of internal control is required. B. The auditor plans to assess control risk at a lower level. C. The auditor plans a heavier reliance on substantive tests. D. The auditor plans to restrict substantive tests.arrow_forwardWhat is risk of incorrect acceptance? A. The risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it does not exist. B. The risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement does not exist when it actually does not. C. The risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement does not exist when it does exist. D. The risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it actually does.arrow_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_forward
- The auditor attempts to correct for the risk of under-auditing (ineffectiveness) and over-auditing (inefficiency). Which of the following statistical Factors corrects for under-auditing? A) Basic Precision B) Reliability Factor C) Achieved Upper Deviation Ratearrow_forwardIn response to an increased level of assessed risk of material misstatement, an auditor of anonissuer would generally A.Not make changes to the nature, timing, or extent of further audit procedures. B.Increase the emphasis on professional skepticism when gathering and evaluating auditevidence with the audit team. C.Perform more substantive audit procedures at an interim date instead of at period end. D.Perform additional tests of controls at an interim date to eliminate the need for substantivetests at period endarrow_forwardIf inherent risk is high and a reasonable level of assurance has been gained from control testing, what type of testing will be performed by the auditor? O extensive procedures focused on estimate errors O some substantive procedures O overall analytical review no more testing, the auditor will rely on the results of the control testsarrow_forward
