Audit risk is the risk that an auditor will provide an inappropriate audit opinion when the financial statements contain material misstatements. Audit risk has three components: inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. Inherent risk is the possibility of material misstatements in the financial statements due to factors like complex accounting issues or assets susceptible to theft. Control risk is the possibility that misstatements will not be prevented or detected by internal controls. Detection risk is the possibility that audit procedures will fail to detect material misstatements. The auditor determines an acceptable level of overall audit risk.
Credit cards originated in the United States in the early 20th century when department stores issued metal plates to loyal customers, allowing them to buy on credit.

Bonds are debt securities where an issuer borrows money from an investor for a defined period of time. The issuer pays interest regularly and returns the principal at maturity. Key terms associated with bonds include the principal amount, coupon, price, yield, maturity, and credit quality. The credit rating of a bond provides a measure of the issuer's ability to repay the debt and allows investors to compare risk across different bonds. Bonds are issued in primary markets by sovereign governments, corporations, and other entities to fund expenditures, while existing bonds are traded in secondary markets between investors.
The document contains information about returns and probabilities for different securities (A, B, C, D, E). It calculates the expected returns for A and B, which are both 8%. The risk (standard deviation) is lower for A at 1.14 than for B at 2.19. It recommends investing in security C, which has the highest return of 12% and moderate risk of 5%. For a portfolio with 75% in A and 25% in C, the expected return is 9% but the risk is higher at 6%; therefore, it recommends investing solely in E, which has the same return of 9% but lower risk.

The document discusses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and how it relates expected return to risk through beta. It provides the formula for CAPM and explains how to calculate beta and expected returns for securities.

The document provides an example calculating standard deviation to compare the risk of a portfolio to the overall stock market index. It finds the portfolio had a higher average return but also higher risk compared to the index. Finally, it discusses using beta to measure how volatile a security's returns are compared to the Nifty index.
