,Which of the following statements are true regarding the system of internal control in
less complex entities?
Note: There could be more than one correct answer. Select all correct options.
The correct answers are:
As part of the control environment in a less complex entity, management and the
lowerlevel employees may be working closely together so employees will frequently be
exposed to how managers behave and conduct themselves.,

a simple accounting system under the charge of the accountant. ,
Implementing control activities can be expensive and smaller entities may not have the
necessary resources to put in more effective but costly security controls.

inherent risks of an audit associated with the nature of audit procedures.

information they can be 100% certain that all information has been recorded or
conveyed to them.

sophisticated and expertly hidden that conventional audit procedures will be
ineffective in detecting misstatement.
