Distinguish between errors and irregularities. Which do you think concern the auditors the most?
What will be an ideal response?
Errors are unintentional mistakes; while irregularities are intentional misrepresentations to perpetrate a fraud or mislead the users of financial statements. Errors are a concern if they are numerous or sizable enough to cause the financial statements to be materially misstated. Processes which involve human actions will contain some amount of human error. Computer processes should only contain errors if the programs are erroneous, or if systems operating procedures are not being closely and competently followed. Errors are typically much easier to uncover than misrepresentations, thus auditors typically are more concerned whether they have uncovered any and all irregularities.
