Chapter 12 Audit Procedures in Response to Assessed Risks: Substantive Tests

Chapter Overview

Steps for Assessing the Risk of Material Misstatement

Determining Detection Risk

Detection Risk Model If, AR = IR x CR x DR, and DR = AP x TD so, DR = AR / (IR x CR)

Preliminary Audit Strategy, Planned Detection Risk, and Planned Emphasis on Audit Tests
