    See Chapter 9 of our notes and lectures. There, the three components of audit risk are explained: inherent risk, control risk and detection risk.

    There is no single set of procedures for assessing risk because its sources are so diverse. Methods include:

    Inspection of last year’s audig file for problems that arose then
    Discussion with client
    Analytical procedures
    Observation (eg the state of the stores)
    Assessment of the internal control system
    Assessment of tge auditor’s experience and of knowledge about the client.
