What are the three components of Audit risk?

Inherent Risk, Control Risk and Detection Risk


Identify and explain the components of audit risk?

Audit risk comprises three main components: inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. Inherent risk refers to the susceptibility of an assertion to a misstatement due to factors like complexity or volatility, without considering internal controls. Control risk is the risk that a misstatement will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal controls. Detection risk is the risk that the auditor's procedures will fail to detect a material misstatement, which can arise from insufficient audit evidence or ineffective audit techniques. Together, these components help auditors assess the overall risk of material misstatement in financial statements.
