BackgrounD information

Risk is a concept which features predominantly in auditing. One of the primary functions involved in auditing is identifying the risks faced by an entity, both business and financial, and reducing these risks to an acceptable level. ISA 330 deals with the responsibilities faced by the auditor in designing and implementing audit procedures which specifically respond to the risk of material misstatement. ISA 330 interrelates to that of ISA 315 in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement by gaining an understanding of the entity and the environment in which it operates.
Auditors have a responsibility to gather sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the overall audit opinion and this audit evidence is gathered primarily through substantive procedures and tests of controls. Both strategies go about assessing the level at which the identified audit risks affect the financial statements as a whole.
In this presentation we will be identifying the optimum ways to mitigate or reduce the risk of a material misstatement by having programs in place to review the evidence used to support the design and operating effectiveness of controls that are going to be used by auditors to gain assurance of management assertions.

Topics on the agenda

• What could result in non-compliance with ISA 330;
• How to identify risks of material misstatements;
• Assessing the risks of material misstatement (taking also into consideration COVID-19 related risks);
• Performing audit procedures in response to assessed risks
