Audit Responses

We use audit responses to address the risk of material misstatement. These further audit procedures include:

  1. Test of details
  2. Substantive analytics
  3. Test of controls

The most common risk response is a test of details, but auditors might also decide to use substantive analytics or a test of controls in certain situations. They may also combine two or more of the three options.

Regardless, responses should appropriately address the risks of material misstatement.
