of an assertion to material misstatement, before considering the
efectiveness of clientss internal control.
Example : inherent risk may be higher for accounts whose
valuations are dependent on complex calculations or accounting
estimates subject to signifcant estimation judgement.
- Control risk : represent the auditorss assessment of the risk that a
material misstatement could occur in an assertion and not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by the clientss internal control.
Example : control risk may be higher if the clientss internal
control procedures fail to include independent review and
verifcation by other client personnel of complex calculations
used or signifcant estimates developed to determine the
valuation of an account balance recorded in the clientss fnancial
statements.

considerations.

infrequent in occurrence.
