accounting, statutory, or
regulatory requirements to
know how it impacts the
stability or profitability of the
entity.

performance

presentation of related-party
transactions in financial
statements.

7. Unusually rapid growth or profitability,
especially compared with that of other
companies in the industry

and must supported by
evidences

avoid foreclosure
Risk Factors relating to management Consider if this presents a risk and if so
consider how this will be addressed

compensation is represented by bonuses,
stock options or other incentives, the value of
which is contingent upon the entity achieving
unduly aggressive targets for operating
results, financial position, or cash flow

be properly reviewed and
provided by evidences.

assistance in order to get the
information required to be
fully effective and efficient.

assets to misappropriation
Consider if this presents a risk and if so
consider how this will be addressed
Large amounts of cash on hand or processed  Perform a detailed review of
the entity's quarter-end or
year-end adjusting entries

8. PRELIMINARY ANALYTICAL REVIEW
and investigate any that
appear unusual as to nature or
amount.
Inventory characteristics, such as small size,
high value, or high demand
 Have a regular physical
count.
Risk Factors relating to controls Consider if this presents a risk and if so
consider how this will be addressed
Lack of appropriate management oversight
(for example, inadequate supervision or
monitoring of remote locations)
 Have a surprise visit to
different locations including
remote ones
Inadequate record keeping with respect to
assets susceptible to misappropriation

evidence to corroborate
management's explanations
Poor physical safeguards over cash,
investments, inventory or non current assets

the current year
Lack of mandatory holidays for employees
performing key control functions
 Conduct interviews of
personnel involved to obtain
their insights about the risk
and whether or how controls
address the risk.

9. It is mandatory that the auditor should perform risk assessment for the identification and
assessment of risks of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion level, and
the risk assessment procedures should include analytical procedures It is also mandatory that the
auditor should perform analytical procedures near the end of the audit that assess whether the
financial statements are consistent with the auditor’s understanding of the entity.
Analytical procedures are also commonly used in non-audit and assurance engagements,
such as reviews of prospective financial information, and non-audit reviews of historical
financial information. While the use of analytical procedures in such engagements is not covered
in the ISAs, the principals regarding their use are relevant.
Preliminary analytical reviews are performed to obtain an understanding of the business
and its environment financial performance relative to prior years and relevant industry and
comparison groups to help assess the risk of material misstatement in order to determine the
nature, timing and extent of audit procedures, to help the auditor develop the audit strategy and
programmed.
Preliminary analytical review is basically tests are needed as evidence to support the
assertion that the financial records of an entity are complete, valid, and accurate. Most of firms
were taking this into consideration that during planning, majority were all much ready to let
planning activities 'occur' as part of the fieldwork. There is a greater emphasis on planning
activities that have placed on risk standards and risk assessment procedures and focus as an
integral part of the risk based audit approach. Drawing comparisons to the types of procedures is
a good way to understand the role of preliminary analytical review in an audit in performing a
review engagement.

10. DETERMINING MATERIALITY LEVEL
Depending on the audit risk, auditors will select different values inside these ranges.
5% to 10 of total revenue
1% to 2% of total assets
1% to 2% of gross profit
2% to 5% of shareholders’ equity
5% to 10% of net income
To detect the misstatements that could be material to the financial statements taken as a whole,
the auditor selects 5% of revenue, 1% of total assets, 1 % of gross profit, 2% of shareholders
equity and 5% of net income to be the material level.
Statement base (Dec. 31
2020)
Amount Materiality level
Revenue 5,410,175 270,508.75
Total assets 3,055,151 30,551.51
Gross profit 961,809 9,618.09
Shareholder’s equity 1,193,831 23,876.62
Profit before tax 75,270 3,763.5
Therefore, the amount less than the materiality level will be considered as immaterial

11. Short document about the assessment of risk in this audit and how this will affect
subsequent work
In conducting the audit engagement, in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(ISAs), the risk assessments that are to be conducted will focus on the financial statements of
Sheridan Audio Visual Ltd, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 20X1, and the
income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended,
and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Auditors must determine risks when working. One type of risk to be aware of is inherent risk.
While assessing this level of risk, you ignore whether the client has internal controls in place
such as a secondary review of financial statement in order to help mitigate the inherent risk. You
consider the strength of the internal controls when assessing the client’s control risk. Your job
when assessing inherent risk is to evaluate how susceptible the financial statement assertions are
to material misstatement given the nature of the client’s business.
Planning analytics to shine light on risks. Provided by the draft accounts, minutes of the meeting
and other relevant documents, all will be made use for identifying whether there are unexplained
variations in the numbers, for the reason that these present fraud signals.
In addition, the potential risks and control environment questionnaire results will serve as a guide
and limit the scope to where the audit must pay more emphasis on.
Together with the inherent limitations of internal control, there is an unavoidable risk that some
material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and
performed in accordance with ISAs. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning
any significant deficiencies in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that
we have identified during the audit.
