- (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_forwardWhich of the following are reasons that auditors conduct analytical procedures at the risk assessment phase of the audit?
