Internal Control
The auditor uses risk assessment procedures to
-obtain an understanding of the entity’s internal control
-identify the types of potential misstatements
-ascertain factors that affect the risk of material
misstatement
-design tests of controls and substantive procedures
The auditor’s understanding of the internal control is a
major factor in determining the overall audit strategy. The
auditor has a responsibility to:
(1) obtain an understanding of internal control and
(2) assess control risk.

Auditing Accounting Applications
Processed by Service Organizations
In some instances, a client may have some or all of its
accounting transactions processed by an outside service
organization.
Because the client’s
transactions are subjected to
the controls of the service
organization, one of the
auditor’s concerns is the
internal control system in
place at the service
organization.
It is not uncommon for service
organizations to have an auditor
issue one of two types of
reports on their operations.
LO# 13

Communication of Internal Control-
Related Matters
Significant
Deficiency
Material
Weakness
A Significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those
charged with governance.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected
and corrected.
