Substantive Audit Procedures for Different Levels of Risk

Finding the balance between the assessed risk and work performed in an audit is an art that many times is done in an overkill manner. It does not have to be this way. This introductory course helps an auditor, whether first year or an experienced senior, to better understand the risk assessment process, and how that ties to the requirements for appropriately performing procedures linked to the assessed level of risk. We explore the different levels of assessed risk, and how to recognize if you have appropriate substantive audit procedures.

This course touches upon the risk assessment, and how the identification of immaterial, significant accounts and RMM accounts and classes of transactions determines work performed. This course discusses the linkage between the risk areas, their related assertions, and the substantive procedures performed.
