Which statement is false?

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.

Audit risk can be completely eliminated through appropriate sampling of transactions.
C.
Audit is what creates the demand for an audit.

Auditors have two strategies to choose from, the lower-assessed control risk strategy and the predominantly substantive strategy. Which of the following statements about the two audit strategies is incorrect?
A.
If the client’s internal controls appear to be effective, the auditor must use the lower assessed control risk strategy.
B.
When internal controls are effective in preventing errors in the financial statement, auditors can use the lower-assessed control risk strategy.
C.
Auditors can always choose to use the predominantly substantive strategy regardless of the control risk assessment.
D.
When internal controls are not effective in preventing errors in the financial statement, auditors need to use the predominantly substantive strategy.
E.
Compared to the predominantly substantive strategy, the lower-assessed control risk strategy is more cost-efficient.
