Performance Principle Goal is to provide reasonable assurance that financial statements do not contain material misstatements 1. Planning and supervision –Preparation of audit plan 2. Materiality –Influences decisions of financial statement users –Considered throughout the audit 3. Risk assessment –Understand entity and environment (including internal control) –Determine necessary effectiveness of substantive tests 4. Audit evidence –Sufficient = quantity (How many transactions or components?) –Appropriate = quality (What level of reliability needed? Source?) 2-8

Overview of Evidence Detection Risk Sufficiency (Quantity of Evidence) Relevance (What Does Evidence Tell the Auditor?) Reliability (Can the Auditor Trust the Evidence?) Appropriateness (Quality of Evidence) 2-9

Sufficient evidence Related to quantity (number of transactions or components examined) Influenced by effectiveness of entity’s internal control Effective internal control Lower level of control riskEvaluate less evidence Ineffective internal control Higher level of control risk Evaluate more evidence 2-10
