Chapter 7, Problem 24MCQ
To determine
Introduction: Analytical procedures consist of ‘evaluations of financial information through analysis of plausible relationships among both financial and non-financial data’. They also encompass ‘such investigation as is necessary of identified fluctuations or relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information or that differ from expected values by a significant amount’ (ISA 520).
To choose: The option that best describes the meaning of planning analytical procedures.

Which of the following is appropriate about risk assessment?
A. The assessed level of inherent and control risk can be sufficiently low, thus resulting to eliminating the need for substantive tests.
B. Audit risk may be more effectively determined by assessing inherent and control risk separately.
C. Detection risk is eliminated if an auditor were to examine 100 percent off the account balance or class of transactions.
D. There is an iverse relationship between detection risk and the combined level of inherent and control risk
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.
Which of the following is not the factor to be considered by an auditor while performing analytical procedures?
O a. Develop expectation of recorded amounts or ratios and evaluate whether the expectation is sufficiently precise to identify misstatement
O b. Evaluate reliability of data
O c Determine suitability of overall audit strategy
O d. Determine suitability of particular substantive analytical procedure for given assertion
