A

‘materiality and audit risk are considered throughout the

38
Q

Materiality được tính dựa trên being a percentage of item in FS?

A

FALSE because materiality have qualitative( nature) and quantitative

39
Q

How to set level of materiality

A

To set the materiality level they need to decide the level of error (quantitative)which would distort the view given by the financial statements.

40
Q

why the level of materiality is often( chỉ often thoi chứ always là sai nha) expressed as a proportion of profit?

A

 Because many users of financial statements are primarily interested in the profitability of the company, the level is often expressed as a proportion of profit; however, the auditors will often calculate a range of values, such as those shown below, and then take a weighted average of all the figures.

performance mis: tập trung vào sự khác nhau giữa tolerable mis and actual mis, kiểu là ở giữa, apply cho các khoản mục trong FS, test all item
materiality:ngưỡng trọng yếu cho cả FS nói chung

43
Q

Tại sao phải thường xuyên review materiality?

A

The level of materiality must be reviewed constantly as the audit progresses, and changes may be required because:
* Draft financial statements are altered (due to material error and so on) and therefore overall materiality changes
* External factors may cause changes in risk estimates
Such changes may be caused by errors or misstatements found during testing.

44
Q

Mức materiality càng thấp chứng tỏ điều j?

A

chứng tỏ sự thận trong của auditor trong việc phòng ngừa những misstatement khó phát hiện được, mức càng thấp thì càng phải thu thập nhiều evidence

57
Q

How to lower the detection risk

A

The auditor therefore manages overall audit risk by manipulating detectionrisk, the only element of audit risk the auditor has control over. This is
because, the more audit work the auditors carry out, the lower detection riskbecomes, although it can never be entirely eliminated due to the inherent
limitations of an audit.

58
Q

Giải thích CT: Audit risk= Inherent risk x Control risk x Detection risks

result in a material misstatement
4,Consider the likelihood of the risks causing a material misstatement

60
Q

Định nghĩa significant risk

A

Significant risk: An identified risk of material misstatement […] for which the assessment of inherent risk is close to the upper end of the spectrum of inherent risk due to the degree to which inherent risk factors affect the combination of the likelihood of a misstatement occurring and the magnitude of the potential misstatement should that
misstatement occur
