Using your knowledge of the relationships among acceptable audit risk, inherent risk, control risk, planned detection risk, performance materiality, and planned evidence, state the effect on planned evidence (increase or decrease) of changing each of the following factors, while the other factors remain unchanged. an increase in acceptable audit risk ________ an increase in inherent risk ________ a decrease in control risk ________ an increase in planned detection risk ________ an increase in performance materiality ________

Risk of incorrect rejection is defined as _______.      the risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement does not exist when it does exist     the risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it does not exist     the risk that an auditor incorrectly rejects a client     the risk that management may reject the audit opinion issued by the auditor   An advantage of statistical sampling _______.     is that it allows an auditor to measure control risk     is that it allows an auditor to measure sampling risk     is that it allows an auditor to measure inherent risk     is that it is cheaper to perform, resulting in lower audit fees for the client

Recall the definition of inherent risk. Why is it important for internal auditors to focus on inherent risk during the planning phase of an assurance engagement?

The more assurance the auditor wants, _______.     A. the less representative a sample should be of the population, and the more testing the auditor needs to do   B. the more representative a sample should be of the population, but the less testing the auditor needs to do to gain efficiency   C. the more representative a sample should be of the population, and the more testing the auditor needs to do   D. the less representative a sample should be of the population, and the less testing the auditor needs to do

When is the timing of substantive procedures most flexible? detection risk is assessed as low O there is a lack of an effective control environment O controls have been tested and are determined to be ineffective O controls have been tested and are determined to be effective

Explain the circumstances when the auditor should revise the components of the audit risk model and the effect of the revisions on planned detection risk and planned evidence.

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.

When an audior increases the assessed level of control risk because certain control activities were determined to be ineffective, the auditor would most likely increase the: A. extent of tests of control B. level of detection risk C. extent of tests of detail D. Level of inherent risk

In determining the tolerable deviation rate for a test of controls, the auditors consider:   Their planned assessed level of control risk.   The sample size.   The nature of the test.   The expected deviation rate in the population.
