Hello everyone. I want to discuss two key elements of audit risk and how they made perfect sense while studying them. So inherent risk is the risk of misstatement assuming no controls are in place, while control risk is the risk of misstatement if the controls dont work. These are the two elements of audit risk that the auditor doesnt control, but are very important.
Companies should tailor their risk management processes to these different risk categories. A rules-based approach is effective for managing preventable risks, whereas strategy risks require a fundamentally different approach based on open and explicit risk discussions. To anticipate and mitigate the impact of major external risks, companies can call on tools such as war-gaming and scenario analysis.
