Risk

ANAnuja Nair9y ago
Hi sir, could you explain to me, how, Decreasing the materiality level could reduce detection risk ?

If you reduce materialty from say $10,000 to $5,000, the auditors will be particularly interested in errors of $5,000 or more rather then $10,000. This implies doing more audit tests, so detection risk is reduced.
