Requirements
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement
Risks for Which Substantive Procedures Alone Do Not Provide Sufficient Appropriate Audit Evidence
30.In respect of some risks, the auditor may judge that it is not possible or practicable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence only from substantive procedures. Such risks may relate to the inaccurate or incomplete recording of routine and significant classes of transactions or account balances, the characteristics of which often permit highly automated processing with little or no manual intervention. In such cases, the entity's controls over such risks are relevant to the audit and the auditor shall obtain an understanding of them. (Ref: Para. A127-A129)
