- (A) The requirement is to find the best statement concerning an auditor’s assessment of control risk. Answer (A) is correct because assessing control risk may be performed concurrently during an audit with obtaining an understanding of internal control. Answer (B) is incorrect because evidence about the operation of internal control from prior audits is useful in planning and executing the current year’s assessment of control risk. Answer (C) is incorrect because the basis for an auditor’s conclusions about the level of control risk must be documented when at any time control risk is assessed below maximum. Answer (D) is incorrect because a lower level of control risk requires more assurance, not less, that the controls are operating effectively.arrow_forwardIn the aftermath of the initial stage of examining a client's computer controls, an auditor might choose not to conduct compliance tests concerning the controls within the computer segment of the client's internal control.

The time and dollar costs of testing exceed the time and dollar savings in substantive testing if the tests of controls show the controls to be operative. c.

The controls appear adequate.arrow_forwardWhen the auditor identifies that a key control absent he/she would most probably: Select one: a. Examine 100% of the population O b.

Your assignment is to write the “audit approach” portion of the case organized around these sections: Objective. Express the objective in terms of the facts supposedly asserted in financial records, accounts, and statements.Control. Write a brief explanation of desirable controls, missing controls, and especially the types of “deviations” that might arise from the situation described in the case.Tests of controls. Write some audit procedures for getting evidence about existing controls, especially procedures that could discover deviations from controls. If there are no controls to test, then there are no procedures to perform; go to the next section. A “procedure” should instruct someone about the source(s) of evidence to tap and the work to do.
