Key lessons in applying the audit risk standard

It’s the engine room of a financial-statement audit – ASA 315 Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement through Understanding the Entity and Its Environment. Recent audit and financial-reporting inspection results and cases reveal shortcomings in its application.

It’s timely to revisit the fundamental requirements – risk-assessment procedures, understanding of an entity’s circumstances and internal control, approaching the risks of material misstatement and what to document – to ensure appropriate understanding and application.

This session will also be a basis for understanding significant revisions that come into play later this year.
