After obtaining a sufficient understanding of internal control, the auditor:
a. Determines the preliminary assessment of control risk
b. Determine the assessed levels of detection risk and inherent risk
c. Assess detection risk to determine the acceptable level of inherent risk
d. Assess the need to apply GAAS
In assessing control risk, an auditor selects from a variety of techniques, including
A. Inquiry and recalculation
B. Reperformance and observation
C. Comparison and confirmation
D. Inspection and verification
Auditing standards indicate that if the preliminary control risk assessment is low, the auditor then gains assurance that the controls are operating effectively.
What is meant by testing the operating effectiveness of controls? How does an auditor decide which controls to test?
