    Sir,

    I have learnt that audit risks means we have to find out risks of material misstatements plus detection risks.

    I want to know is thats how it is or something else to be added in it?

    If thats fine then what we have to write if question asks for audit risks in part a and risks of material misstatement in part b?
    Or there wouldnt be such a question?

    Thanks.

    Hi Snowia

    Have you checked questions on audit risk from past exams? I believe that you’ll get a pretty good indication from there! You would usefully read the answers to those questions whilst you’re there 🙂

    Ethical – you say you’re ok with

    Professional – quality control of audit, training of audit staff, communication with prior auditors

    Commercial – not sure on this one. Is it from a past exam? I don’t remember reading a question asking for commercial issues

    I can’t remember the exact question but there was one.
    The question had a joint venture business opportunity with the audit client for manufacturing materials and I think the commercial issue was that is it commercially viable for them in the sense of core competency and the implications of diversification.

    But surely that’s a risk that the company faces – that’s not a risk that is facing the auditor!
