Application and Other Explanatory Material
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement
Assessment of Risks of Material Misstatement at the Assertion Level (Ref: Para. 25(b) )
A109.Risks of material misstatement at the assertion level for classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures need to be considered because such consideration directly assists in determining the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures at the assertion level necessary to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement at the assertion level, the auditor may conclude that the identified risks relate more pervasively to the financial statements as a whole and potentially affect many assertions.
