    We decided to set Audit Risk High, Inherent Risk low, and Control Risk low. Setting Audit Risk High seems to indicate that we are convinced about the integrity of the management of Sweet Truths. The higher the Audit Risk, the lesser the evidence that has to be gathers by the auditor. Setting Inherent Risk low indicates that the confectionery industry is stable and we do not perceive any risks. The lower the Inherent Risk, the greater the evidence that the auditors needs to gather. Setting Control Risk Low indicates that we are relying on the internal control procedures that are in place in the organization. Control Risk can never be zero since it is advisable for the auditor to avoid placing complete reliance on the internal controls of the firm. Expected Misstatement is the amount of misstatement the auditor believes exists in the…

    Rice Cake Production

    • 1028 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Ease of production and marketability are major concerns when a new type of rice cake is considered. The popping machines are expensive investments, so the product must be readily adaptable to the machine. Production trials have shown that additives greatly increase the likelihood of breakage, so spices, herbs, and seeds are not mixed with the rice before the cake is made although they may be added to the surface later. Similarly, salt and flavorings are now sprayed on; earlier methods of adding them to the rice were less than successful in the survival rate of whole rice cakes and in taste. Some manufacturers have also eliminated mini rice cakes from their product line. The novelty of the smaller cakes was more costly to produce than sales warranted. A constant stream of new flavor possibilities and other options are under consideration, but only careful assurance of a contented public and minimal production difficulties justifies a new product line.…
