The other procedure we’ve done for risk assessment is considering or the
computation of the audit risk. Based on our professional judgment and
after assessing the risk of material misstatements through understanding the entity and its environment, we’ve arrived at an audit risk of 3%. This means that this 3% is the largest possibility, level or chance that we auditors will issue an unqualified opinion when the financial statements were materially misstated. And for us to come up with an audit risk of 3%, we used the audit risk model which shows that audit risk is equal to inherent risk X control risk X detection risk. We derived the inherent risk of 90% from our assessment of inherent risk at assertion level. And a control risk of 85% from assessing the entity’s internal control. These percentages were based on our professional judgement. And with this formula, we will have a detection risk of 3.92%. Considering the low level detection risk, and high risk of material misstatements, , it means that we have to extend the scope of our course of action. Indicating that we need to perform more audit procedures.
