Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your reasoning. a) Svetlana Petrova was reviewing the risk profile of Gaz Prom Industries in order to determine detection risk. She concluded: “Both my inherent and control risks are low. I guess I should be willing to accept high detection risk.” b) Boris Ivanov had performed an assessment of the accounts payable system at Magnitogirsk Iron and Steel Works Operations in the Urals. His focus was on the completeness assertion for accounts payable balances. Inherent risk and control risk were both high. He decided that because the overall risk assessment was high he would have to set his detection risk high. c) Jana Novotna, the auditor in charge of the Mosenergo petroleum giant, was explaining to Valentin Titov the importance of the timing of substantive procedures: “Although we associate examinations of internal controls with interim work and substantive procedures with year-end work, we can perform substantive procedures before year end if there exists an effective control environment.”
