    Assessing Control Risk

    • Assessing control risk as high is not due to the existence of an internal audit function.

    • The auditor should communicate material weaknesses in the internal control system to management on a timely basis.

    Control Risk Assessed as High

    • If control risk is assessed as high, the auditor should perform more detailed substantive procedures to gather sufficient evidence.
