audit risk =
AR=IRCRDR
or
AR=RMM*DR
inherent risk (ir)
the probability that a material misstatement would occur in the absence of internal controls
Control risk (CR)
the probability that a material misstatement that occurred in the first place would not be detected and corrected by internal controls that are applicable
Detection risk (DR)
the probability that a material misstatement that was not prevented or detected and corrected by internal control was not detected by the auditors substantive audit procedures (an undetected material misstatement exists in a relevant assertion).
we set ir and cr. DR is by default.
risk of material misstatement (RMM)
IR*CR
we set AR. then we determine RMM and then we solve for X (Which is DR).
we set AR as a target, we assess IR, we asses CR and then DR is there by default.

The relationship between control risk and detection risk is
inverse.
