RISK OF MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT
Focus on the identification of risks of material
misstatement (RMMs). There are three types of risks:
inherent, control and business risks.
Inherent risk: the susceptibility of the financial statements to a misstatement that could be material,
either individually or when aggregated with other misstatements, before the consideration of any
related controls.
o Higher for some FSA’s and related disclosures than for others
o Higher for complex calculations such as pension fund liabilities or valuations of derivative
instruments
o Higher in areas where management can influence the reporting in the financial statements,
such as revenue recognition
Control risk: the risk that a material misstatement could occur in the financial statement that, either
individually of when aggregated with other misstatements, will not be prevented or detected and
corrected on a timely basis by the entity’s internal controls.
o Control risk has to be taken into consideration along with the circumstances in which it has
been identified.
o Control of entity doesn’t work as they should do or there is no control.
o Determine whether there is an inherent risk present that has not been considered to date.
o Example: a lack of inventory controls such that warehouse personnel could remove inventory
undetected could result in a potential RMM if the inventory were small, portable and
valuable (such as diamonds).
Business risk: related to an underlying risk, which may be of a more commercial, strategic, or
regulatory nature, rather than a risk that directly affects the financial statements.
o Determine whether there is an inherent risk present that has not been considered to date.
o Examples: providing a new good or service to the general public: this may have an impact in
terms of exposing our client to greater product liability.
Focus on risks which could realistically pose a risk of material misstatement (RMM) based on likelihood and
magnitude.
