Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning. a) Monica Callahan, the in-charge auditor, was explaining to her junior auditors why she was setting inherent risk high. “It is appropriate to set higher inherent risk for this company as our client is in an industry that is very competitive.” b) In selecting an appropriate materiality base, an auditor can choose an item from the balance sheet or income statement. c) Randy Roberts has mentioned to his staff auditors that audit risk is based on factors that relate to the entity, while materiality is based on the user needs. As a result, materiality and audit risk are two concepts that need to be considered separately when considering material misstatements. Marking Scheme 3 parts @ 3 points each
