STUART HARTLEY FCA

The Audit Objective (ISA/CAS 200)
To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
thereby enabling
the auditor to express an opinion on whether the financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework;
The Audit Process - in 3 steps
Risk assessment – What can go wrong? ◦ Perform risk assessment procedures to identify and assess the risks
of material misstatement in the financial statements.
Risk Response – Did it go wrong? ◦ Perform further procedures to respond to the assessed risks
and determine if material misstatements have occurred.
Reporting. – Opinion◦ What is the appropriate wording of the audit opinion
based on the work performed?
Basic Audit Requirements ISA/CAS 200

2. Plan and perform an audit with professional skepticism
