Fantastic news! We've Found the answer you've been seeking!

Question:

Analyze and draw conclusions about the nature and extent of tests of controls:

For each assertion that you identify as high or maximum inherent risk, identify an internal control, or a combination of internal controls, that would control that risk.

Explain the nature and extent of tests of controls you would need to perform to assess control risk as low, for the controls you identified in (c)1 above.

Analyze and draw conclusions about the nature, timing, and extent of substantive procedures:

Given your conclusions about inherent risk and assuming that tests of controls show that internal controls are effective, what are your conclusions about detection risk for the assertions identified as high or maximum inherent risk? Explain your conclusions.

For the assertions you identified as high or maximum inherent risk, what is the substantive procedure you would suggest performing (nature of the test)? Explain your conclusions.

For the assertions you identified as high or maximum inherent risk, when do you suggest performing the substantive procedure (timing of the test)? Explain your conclusions.

For the assertions you identified as high or maximum inherent risk, how extensively should the auditor test these assertions (extent of the test)? Explain your conclusions.
