Nature of Material Mistatement |
Revenue
that does not belong to the company but deliberately added to the
revenue section is called fictitious revenues. Employees are inspired to increase the sales because they want to meet their targets of sales which might lead to their promotions. These sales can either be made to actual customers of the company or fake customers that only exist in the records for the employees to conduct fraud. |
Due to
the excessive figures in the sales, accountants may manipulate the figures and record the revenue in the earlier years of the services against the criteria for their personal financial interest. This will also inflate the debtors figure and overall misrepresentation to the financial statement. |
Risk of material misstatement |
The risk
of material misstatement is the risk that the financial statements
of an organization have been misstated to a material degree. This
risk is assessed by auditors at the following two levels: At the assertion level. This is further subdivided into inherent risk and control risk. Inherent risk is the susceptibility of an assertion to misstatement because of error or fraud, before considering controls. Control risk is the risk of misstatement that will not be prevented or detected by a reporting entity's internal controls. At the financial statement level. Relates to the financial statements as a whole. This risk is more likely when there is a possibility of fraud. When the risk of material misstatement is high, the level of detection risk is lowered (increases the amount of evidence obtained from substantive procedures). Doing so reduces the overall audit risk |
Audit procedure to be performed |
