How does the auditor respond to assess risk. Is it by using test of controls and substantive procedures, or by some other means? I am a bit confused.
Kindly advise me.

Generally an unacceptable audit risk means that there are inadequqte controls otherwise the xontrols would mitigate the risk. So, tests of control probably won’t work.
If a control appears ro reduce audit risk, then it must, of course, be tested to ensure it is effetive.
If there are inadequate controls and there remains a risk of material misstatememd, the only approach the auditor can take is to increase substantive tests.
