It is about the degree of risk involved in the prudence shown the auditor while ascertaining the sufficiency and appropriateness of audit evidence, which might result into material statement if prudence is not displayed. It also wants us to explain that if there is a high risk factor decision and low risk decision is to be taken, how sufficiency and appropriateness goes in contrast and the materiality aspect is changed.
