To indicate:Whether the given statement is true or false.

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
Marion Watson & Co., CPAs, is planning its audit procedures for its tests of the valuation of inventories of East Coast Manufacturing Co. The auditors on the engagement have assessed inherent risk and control risk for valuation of inventories at 100 percent and 50 percent, respectively. a. Calculate the appropriate level of detection riskfor the audit of this assertion, given that the auditors wish to restrict audit risk for the assertion to 3 percent. b. Calculate the appropriate level of detection risk for the audit of this assertion, given that the auditors wish to restrict audit risk for the assertion to 5 percent.
The following are concepts discussedin this chapter:1. Preliminary judgment about 7. Estimated total misstatementmateriality in a segment2. Control risk 8. Planned detection risk3. Risk of fraud 9. Estimate of the combined4. Inherent risk misstatement5. Risk of material misstatements 10. Acceptable audit risk6. Known misstatement 11. Performance materialitya. Identify which items are audit planning decisions requiring professional judgment.b. Identify which items are audit conclusions resulting from application of audit procedures and requiring professional judgment.c. Under what circumstances is it acceptable to change those items in part a. after theaudit is started? Which items can be changed after the audit is 95% completed?
