What are the three broad types of audit procedures? What is the purpose of each test?
Risk assessment procedures. Procedures performed by the auditor to obtain information for identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements whether due to error or fraud. Risk assessment procedures by themselves do not provide sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base an audit opinion, but are used for purposes of planning the audit.
Tests of controls. Audit procedures designed to evaluate the operating effectiveness of controls in preventing, or detecting and correcting, material misstatements, typically at the assertion level.
Substantive procedures. Audit procedures designed to detect material misstatements in accounts which include tests of details and substantive analytical procedures.
