Required
a. Explain what each of the four risks means.
b. Calculate planned detection risk for each situation.
c. Which situation requires the greatest amount of evidence and which requires the least?
d. Using your knowledge of the relationships among the foregoing factors, state the effect on planned detection risk (increase or decrease) of changing each of the following factors while the other two remain constant:
(1) An increase in acceptable audit risk
(2) An increase in control risk
(3) A decrease in inherent risk
(4) An increase in control risk and a decrease in inherent risk of the sameamount
