For some companies, in the process of operation, we should pay attention to abide by relevant legal systems and policies, and avoid some risks according to the operating conditions. For company audits, there are generally certain risks. Let’s find what are the audit risks and how to deal with company audits?
What are the audit risks?
The audit risk model is: audit risk = inherent risk × control risk × Check the risk. It can be seen that audit risk is composed of inherent risk, control risk, and inspection service risk.
Inherent risk refers to the possibility of material misstatement in a certain determination in the accounting statements without considering the relevant internal control policies or procedures of the auditee. It exists independently of audit and is a risk that certified public accountants cannot change their actual level.
Control risk refers to the possibility that the internal control of the auditee fails to prevent or find any misstatement or omission in its accounting statements in time. Like inherent risk, auditors can only evaluate its level and cannot affect or reduce its size.
Inspection risk refers to the possibility that the certified public accountant fails to find a material misstatement or omission in the audited entity’s accounting statements through the predetermined audit degree. Inspection risk is the only audit risk element that can be controlled and managed by certified public accountants.
Does equity transfer need audit
The equity transfer of state-owned assets or collective assets needs to be audited. If it is an individual company, there is no need for audit, and the price negotiated by both parties shall be implemented. However, if the equity transfer price of the company is too low, the tax authorities will intervene in the review.
