Audit Risk - #5 Risk Definition Series

Audit Risk (AR) expresses the general relationship of risks associated with the auditor's assessments of risk of material misstatements (RMM = inherent risk x control risk); the risk that audit procedures will fail to detect a material financial statement misstatement due to an internal control failure (DR).

Audit Risk must be low because of the high level of assurance provided by the audit opinion.
