Independence with respect to the financial statements and supplementary disclosures. | Question #2 (AICPA.921110AUD-AU) | | |
As the acceptable level of detection risk increases, an auditor may change the | A. Assessed level of control risk from below the maximum to the maximum level. | | B. Assurance provided by tests of controls by using a larger sample size than planned. | | C. Timing of substantive tests from year end to an interim date. | | Performing substantive tests at an interim date increases the risk that misstatements that exist at the balance sheet date will not be detected by the auditor. Evidence collected at an interim date is therefore less strong than evidence collected at year end. Increasing detection risk means that the auditor can obtain less or weaker evidence. As a result, the auditor may be able to push the timing of substantive tests from year end to an interim date. | | D. Nature of substantive tests from a less effective to a more effective procedure. | Question #3
