Understanding the Entity and Assessing Risk - Part 2

Authored by Joanne Flood, CPA-MBA
About this Course
The Risk Assessment Standards require the auditor to understand and respond to risks of material misstatement, whether due to errors or fraud. In reaching that understanding, auditors should identify risks to the entity's business and the controls in place to mitigate them. In a continuation of Part 1 of this course, you will be shown how to use your understanding of the client and its internal control design to assess risk and design an appropriate audit response. You'll also learn how to evaluate audit results.
