While performing a test of details during an audit, an auditor determined that the sample results supported the conclusion that the recorded account balance was materially misstated. It was, in fact, not materially misstated. This situation illustrates the risk of
Incorrect rejection
Incorrect acceptance
Assessing control risk too high
Assessing control risk too low
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.
When making a decision about the dollar amount in an account balance based on a sample, the audit team considers the risk of incorrect acceptance to be more serious than the risk of incorrect rejection becausea. The incorrect rejection decision impairs the efficiency of the audit.b. The audit team will do additional work and discover the misstatement of the incorrect decision.c.
