    Audit risk is made up from inherent risk, control risk and detection risk.

    Business risk is not on the F8 syllabus.

    Audit risk will be potentially high if inherent risk is high (eg inexperienced client staff prepare the FS) and control risk is high (poor internal controls). To counter those effects, the auditor will have to keep detection risk low by doing more audit work.
