Hi. I would like to ask, if we were given a question about “audit risk” or “risk of material misstatement” in the AAA exam, is the technique of answering these two questions similar, i.e. figuring out the relevant ISAs, considering appropriate accounting treatment, and the risks involved, and the difference is just that “risk of material misstatement” happens before audit, whilst “audit risk” happens after audit?
Thank you.
March 6, 2022 at 8:08 am #649959If asked for audit risk you should be alert to the possibility of making valid points about detection risk. If asked only for RoMM you don’t need to consider detection risk.
March 6, 2022 at 9:10 am #649963Oh I see. Thanks a lot 🙂

Thank you.
March 6, 2022 at 10:15 am #649970You are correct
March 6, 2022 at 10:19 am #649971Thank you 🙂
March 6, 2022 at 12:56 pm #649977By the way, does this also mean that questions about “audit risks” and “RoMM” will never come out together under one case scenario, since they are similar? It’s either “audit risks” and perhaps “matters to be considered” together, or “RoMM” and “business risks” together under one case scenario?
Thank you.

March 7, 2022 at 5:39 am #650019Oh I see. Thank you 🙂
March 7, 2022 at 7:20 am #650023You are welcome!
