Control Environment (Umbrella)

Risk Assessment

Inherent Risk
Assessment concerning material misstatement before considering the effectiveness of internal control.
Control Risk
Assessment of the risk that misstatement could occur in an assertion and not be prevented or detected by internal controls.
