    Hi Tutor,

    simply, is it OK to write the risk factor explicitly as follows- in the risk assessment question?

    Risk Factor: the Audit client has no audit committee

    or just say – the audit client has no audit committee ( without mentioning the word Risk factor)

    That depends upon the precise nature / wording of the question

    But ask yourself this … “How much time have I used in writing the words ‘Risk Factor’ and do I believe that that nano-second is going to be effectively used gaining another mark?”

    In addition, why not (having planned and accumulated all the risk factors together within your plan) start this part of your answer with a heading, like this:

    Risk Factors:

    the Audit client has no audit committee

    the audit client has no auditable controls

    the audit client has incompetent directors

    In this way, you write “Risk Factors” only once

    Does that do it for you?
