AUD 3 Internal Control 10 - 3 Flashcards
1
Q
Obtain an Understanding of the Entity’s Internal Control Structure (AU-C 315)
An auditor performs the following procedures to obtain and apply an understanding of internal control to an audit:
Step 1 – Obtain an understanding of the design of all 5 components of the entity’s internal control (CRIME) through the performance of risk assessment procedures.
Step 2 – Document the understanding of Internal Control.
Step 3 – Assess Risk of Material Misstatement (RMM) which consists of inherent risk (IR) and control risk (CR).
RMM = IR × CR
Step 4 – Develop an audit strategy to either:
o (RELY?)
Perform tests of control (TofC) to determine if CR is below maximum, reducing RMM below the level of IR and allowing for the modification of the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures (sub tests): or
o (NOT Rely)
Decide NOT to perform tests of controls, assessing CR at the maximum level as if the control did not exist, and measuring RMM as being equal to IR.
Step 5 – Reassess Risk of Material Misstatement and evaluate results.
o For controls for which tests of controls were performed, evaluate results to reassess RMM and determine if it is appropriate to modify the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures.
Step 6 – Document conclusions and determine the effect on the planned substantive procedures. At this point, the audit program needs to be developed or revised for further audit procedures.
