After the audit planning procedures, your audit team decided to place the preliminary audit risk at a high level. Which of the following is correct?
A. The risk the planned further audit procedures will not be able to detect misstatement should be increased.
B. The auditors should plan set the timing of its extensive substantive testing at year-end.
C. The audit materiality levels should be increased.
D. The auditors should plan extensive substantive testing through analytical procedures.
On the basis of audit evidence gathered and evaluated, an auditor decides to increaseassessed control risk from that originally planned. To achieve an audit risk level (AcAR)that is substantially the same as the planned audit risk level (AAR), the auditor will(1) increase inherent risk. (3) decrease substantive testing.(2) increase materiality levels. (4) decrease planned detection risk.
In performing a risk-based audit, when developing audit recommendations, the IT auditor should:
a) Use Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) to test transactions.
b) Analyze the inherent risk, residual risk, and the cost of additional controls in relation to the potential for loss.
c) Determine if the risk is material based solely on auditor judgement.
d) Perform substantive procedures to eliminate control risk

- Auditors are required to obtain a sufficient understanding of each component of a client’s internal control. This understanding is used toassess control risk and plan the audit of the client’s financial statements.Required:a. For what purposes should an auditors’ understanding of the internal control components be used in planning an audit?b. What is required for an audit team to assess control risk below the maximum level?c.
