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.
What are the risks if the auditor concludes controls are operating effectively based on the sample and Control Risk is set too low?
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.
