Why does an auditor not have responsibility to identify or assess all business risks?

Professional auditing standards provide guidance on the auditor’s consideration of an entity’s business environment and associated business risks.


Not all business risks give rise to risks of material misstatement. The auditor needs to consider
those business risks that could result in a material misstatement at either the financial statement
level or assertion level to classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures.
