How is Q4 different from Q14b in chapter 3 of PM? Same question different answers?
A- CENSUS has inherent risks of inaccuracy
Inherent audit risk at the level of Account Balance and Class of Transactions is:
- Quality of the accounting system. (Manual Vs EDP)
- The complexity of underlying transactions and other events which might require using the work of an expert. (Computation of Number of Shares in ESOP Scheme)
- Transactions not subjected to ordinary processing (Sales to TOP 3 Customers)
- Financial statements are likely to be susceptible to misstatement, for example, accounts which required adjustment in the prior period (Interest Expense of 5 months was inappropriately capitalised even after completion of construction) or which involve a high degree of estimation / Judgement. (Provision for Litigation)
- The completion of unusual and complex transactions, particularly at or near period end. (Demerger / Sale & Lease Back)
- Susceptibility of assets to loss or misappropriation, for example, assets which are highly desirable and movable such as cash. (Wages Payment in Construction Company)
