Users can edit the default questions through the "Specific risk questions" option in the Risk Model section. Up to 99 default questions can be defined, similar to inherent risk questions. The system utilizes a lookup table that combines specific and inherent risks for audits, with editing instructions provided in the manual.
Risk/Sample Selection
This document outlines the concept of audit risk, defined as the likelihood of undetected material errors during an audit. It introduces a risk model used in Audit Automation that requires total audit risk to remain below acceptable levels across various audit areas. The risks are broken down into inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk, with further subdivisions for detection risk. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts to design effective audit procedures and assess risk at different levels. Additionally, it discusses general and control environments, and the calculation of residual risk, alongside a risk scoring system.

Users can access a dedicated window to view up to 99 risk areas, answer questions, and modify responses as necessary. The system prompts users to validate changes to ensure proper risk assessments. It includes functionalities for viewing prior comments, copying text, and overriding calculated risk levels, emphasizing that auditor judgment is crucial. Comments on overrides must be provided to rationalize any adjustments made. The document serves as a guide for navigating and utilizing the auditing software effectively.
