Candidates studying Audit and Assurance(AA)and Advanced Audit and Assurance(AAA)are often presented with questions that focus on the planning stage of the audit.
Candidates will therefore need a sound understanding of ISA 315(Revised 2019),Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement which becomes an examinable document from the September 2021 exam session for both AA and AAA.The central theme throughout ISA 315(Revised)is the assessment of risk.Questions involving risk assessment are highly examinable at both AA and AAA,it is vital that candidates have studied this part of the syllabus thoroughly.
A word on assertions
The auditor needs to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the assertions and disclosures in the financial statements made by management.These assertions are used by the auditor when assessing the risks of misstatement on an engagement.
Objective of the audit and the assessment of risk
The objective of the auditor is to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error,at the financial statement and assertion levels thereby providing a basis for designing and implementing responses to the assessed risks of material misstatement1.
ISA 315(Revised)states the reasons‘why’risk assessment procedures should be carried out but provides further guidance with‘what’needs to be tested and‘how’it can be tested.Candidates are strongly encouraged to review the appendices to the revised standard for examples of the‘what’and‘how’.【点击免费下载>>>更多ACCA学习相关资料】
ISA 200,Overall objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with International Standards on Auditing states that audit risk is the risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate opinion when the financial statements are materiality misstated.
It should be noted that the fundamentals of the audit risk model which candidates will often come across during their studies has not been affected by ISA 315(Revised)and remains as follows:
However,there have been some changes as to how risks are evaluated.ISA 315(Revised)enhances the requirement for the auditor to understand the audit risk of the client by obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment,the applicable financial reporting standards and the entity’s system of internal control.
Using the risk model above,these can be considered as follows:
Inherent risk
Understanding the entity and its environment
Understanding the applicable financial reporting framework
Control risk
Understanding the entity’s system of internal control.
