    The three strategies for testing internal controls would first be to assess a control risk based on user controls. This can be done by comparing computer-generated output with the source documents that can support the transactions. The second strategy would be by planning for a low control risk assessment based on application controls. This means that the auditor should test the computer application controls, test the computer general controls, and test the manual follow up of the exceptions noted by the application controls. The last strategy would be planning for a high control risk assessment based on general controls and manual follow up. When an auditor test the general controls they can usually learn about the effectiveness of the design and testing application controls.…

    The acceptable audit risks, inherent risk, the preliminary judgment about materiality and performance materiality have significant impact on the whole process of the audit and therefore they should be made in the planning phase. The acceptable audit risk helps the auditor to determine the scope and how much evidence to gather during the audit. Inherent risk is the risk of material misstatement in an account before considering the effectiveness of internal control. The assessment of inherent risk in the planning phase is to help the auditor plan the audit by deciding which parts of the audit to emphasize and the extent of testing. The performance materiality and preliminary judgment about materiality determine the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures. Therefore, to better perform further audit procedures, these should be made in the early phase of the audit.…
