Audit risks for particular accounts and disclosures can be conceptualized in the model: Audit risk (AR) = Inherent risk (IR) × Control risk (CR) × Detection risk (DR). Use this model as a framework for considering the following situations and deciding whether the auditor’s conclusion is appropriate.a. Paul, CPA, has participated in the audit of Tordik Cheese Company for five years, first as an assistant accountant and the last two years as the senior accountant. Paul has never seen an accounting adjustment recommended and believes the inherent risk must be zero.b. Hill, CPA, has just (November 30) completed an exhaustive study and evaluation of the internal controls of Edward Foods Inc. (fiscal year ending December 31). Hill believes the control risk must be zero because no material errors could possibly slip through the many error-checking procedures and review layers that Edward used.c. Fields, CPA, is lazy and does not like audit jobs in Philadelphia. On the audit of Philly…
Please decide control risk, inherent risk and planned audit evidence will be affected (increase or decrease) in the following cases, and then list your analysis:
i. You determine through analytical procedures that working capital, debt to equity ratio and other indicators of financial stability have worsened during the year.
ii. In auditing inventories, you obtain an understanding of the internal control structure and perform test of controls. You find it significantly improved compared with that of the preceding year. You also observe that due to technology changes in the industry, the client's inventories may be somewhat obsolete.

Auditors often use quantitative benchmarks such as 1% of total assets or 5% of net income to determine whethermisstatements materially affect the financial statements, but ultimatelyit is an auditor’s individual professional judgment as towhether a given misstatement is or is not considered material.a. What is the relationship between the level of riskiness of theclient and the level of misstatement in an account balancethat an auditor would consider material?
