INTRODUCTION TO
ISA 315
 Scope of this ISA 315
This International Standard on Auditing (ISA) deals with the auditor’s responsibility
to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements,
through understanding the entity and its environment, including the entity’s internal
control.
 Effective Date
This ISA is effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or
after December 15, 2009.
OBJECTIVE OF ISA 315
The objective of the auditor is to identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at the financial statement
and assertion levels, through understanding the entity and its
environment, including the entity’s internal control, thereby providing a
basis for designing and implementing responses to the assessed risks of
material misstatement.
DEFINITION OF ISA 315
 Assertions
Representations by management, explicit or otherwise, that are embodied in the financial statements, as
used by the auditor to consider the different types of potential misstatements that may occur.
 Business risk
A risk resulting from significant conditions, events, circumstances, actions or inactions that could
adversely affect an entity’s ability to achieve its objectives and execute its strategies, or from the setting
of inappropriate objectives and strategies.
 Internal control
• The process designed, implemented and maintained by those charged with governance, management
and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance about the achievement of an entity’s objectives
with regard to reliability of financial reporting,
DEFINITION OF ISA 315
effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. The term “controls” refers to any aspects of one or more of the components of
internal control.
 Risk assessment procedures
The audit procedures performed to obtain an understanding of the entity and its
environment, including the entity’s internal control, to identify and assess the risks of
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at the financial statement and
assertion levels.
 Significant risk
An identified and assessed risk of material misstatement that, in the auditor’s judgment,
requires special audit consideration.
Requirements of ISA 315
 Risk Assessment Procedures and Related Activities
The auditor shall perform risk assessment procedures to provide a basis for the
identification and assessment of risks of material misstatement at the financial
statement and assertion levels. Risk assessment procedures by themselves, however,
do not provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the audit
opinion. The risk assessment procedures shall include the following:
• Analytical procedures.
• Observation and inspection.
Entity and Its Environment, Including
the Entity’s Internal Control
 The Entity and Its Environment
Relevant industry, regulatory, and other external factors including the applicable financial
reporting framework. The nature of the entity, including:
1. Its operations.
2. Its ownership and governance structures.
3. The types of investments that the entity is making and plans to make, including
investments in special-purpose entities.
4. The way that the entity is structured and how it is financed,
to enable the auditor to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, and
disclosures to be expected in the financial statements.
Entity and Its Environment, Including
the Entity’s Internal Control
 The Entity’s Internal Control
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit.
Although most controls relevant to the audit are likely to relate to financial
reporting, not all controls that relate to financial reporting are relevant to the
audit. It is a matter of the auditor’s professional judgment whether a control,
individually or in combination with others, is relevant to the audit.
• Nature and Extent of the Understanding of Relevant Controls.
• Components of Internal Control environment.
Entity and Its Environment, Including
the Entity’s Internal Control
 The entity’s risk assessment process
• The auditor shall obtain an understanding of whether the entity has a process
for:
• Identifying business risks relevant to financial reporting objectives.
• Estimating the significance of the risks.
• Assessing the likelihood of their occurrence.
• Deciding about actions to address those risks.
Entity and Its Environment, Including
the Entity’s Internal Control
 Communication and Information System
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the information system, including the related
business processes, relevant to financial reporting, including the following areas:
• The procedures, within both information technology (IT) and manual systems, by which
those transactions are initiated, recorded, processed, corrected as necessary, transferred
to the general ledger and reported in the financial statements.
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of how the entity communicates financial
reporting roles and responsibilities and significant matters relating to financial reporting,
including:
• Communications between management and those charged with governance; and
• External communications, such as those with regulatory authorities.
ENTITY AND ITS ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING
THE ENTITY’S INTERNAL CONTROL
 Control activities relevant to the audit
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of control activities relevant to the
audit, being those the auditor judges it necessary to understand in order to assess
the risks of material misstatement at the assertion level and design further audit
procedures responsive to assessed risks. An audit does not require an
understanding of all the control activities related to each significant class of
transactions, account balance, and disclosure in the financial statements or to
every assertion relevant to them.
• In understanding the entity’s control activities, the auditor shall obtain an
• understanding of how the entity has responded to risks arising from IT.
Entity and Its Environment, Including
the Entity’s Internal Control
Monitoring of controls
The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the major activities that the
entity uses to monitor internal control over financial reporting, including
those related to those control activities relevant to the audit, and how the
entity initiates remedial actions to deficiencies in its controls.
LIMITATIONS FOR THE ENTITY’S
INTERNAL CONTROL
• Effective internal control systems can only provide reasonable, not
absolute, assurance to achieve the entity’s financial reporting objective
due to the inherent limitations of internal control – for example,
management override of internal controls. Therefore, auditors should
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement at the financial
statement level and assertion level for classes of transactions, account
balances and disclosures.
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material
Misstatement
The auditor shall identify and assess the risks of material misstatement
at:
• The financial statement level.
• The assertion level for classes of transactions, account balances, and
disclosures, to provide a basis for designing and performing further
audit procedures.
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material
Misstatement
Risks That Require Special Audit Consideration
As part of the risk assessment, the auditor shall determine whether any of
the risks identified are, in the auditor’s judgment, a significant risk. In
exercising this judgment, the auditor shall exclude the effects of
identified controls related to the risk.
If the auditor has determined that a significant risk exists, the auditor
shall obtain an understanding of the entity’s controls, including control
activities, relevant to that risk.
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material
Misstatement
 Appropriate Audit Evidence
In respect of some risks, the auditor may judge that it is not possible or practicable to
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence only from substantive procedures. Such
risks may relate to the inaccurate or incomplete recording of routine and significant
classes of transactions or account balances, the characteristics of which often permit
highly automated processing with little or no manual intervention. In such cases, the
entity’s controls over such risks are relevant to the audit and the auditor shall obtain
an understanding of them.
Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material
Misstatement
 Revision of Risk Assessment
The auditor’s assessment of the risks of material misstatement at the
assertion level may change during the course of the audit as additional audit
evidence is obtained. In circumstances where the auditor obtains audit
evidence from performing further audit procedures, or if new information is
obtained, either of which is inconsistent with the audit evidence on which the
auditor originally based the assessment, the auditor shall revise the
assessment and modify the further planned audit procedures accordingly.
Documentation
• The auditor shall include in the audit documentation,
• The discussion among the engagement team, and the significant decisions
reached.
• Key elements of the understanding obtained regarding each of the aspects of
the entity and its environment, the sources of information from which the
understanding was obtained; and the risk assessment procedures performed.
• The identified and assessed risks of material misstatement at the financial
statement level and at the assertion level.
• The risks identified, and related controls about which the auditor has obtained
an understanding.
CONCLUSION
Auditors should not underestimate the importance of ISA 315, as its
requirements relating to risk assessment help to ensure that audits are
responsive to individual audit clients’ circumstances. When applied
properly, ISA 315 should help to reduce audit risk. Although the
requirements of the ISA can seem onerous, careful application of the
standard and appropriate use of auditor’s judgment should mean that
compliance with documentation requirements is a relatively
straightforward process.

  • 5. INTRODUCTION TO ISA 315  Scope of this ISA 315 This International Standard on Auditing (ISA) deals with the auditor’s responsibility to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, through understanding the entity and its environment, including the entity’s internal control.  Effective Date This ISA is effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2009.
  • 6. OBJECTIVE OF ISA 315 The objective of the auditor is to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at the financial statement and assertion levels, through understanding the entity and its environment, including the entity’s internal control, thereby providing a basis for designing and implementing responses to the assessed risks of material misstatement.
  • 7. DEFINITION OF ISA 315  Assertions Representations by management, explicit or otherwise, that are embodied in the financial statements, as used by the auditor to consider the different types of potential misstatements that may occur.  Business risk A risk resulting from significant conditions, events, circumstances, actions or inactions that could adversely affect an entity’s ability to achieve its objectives and execute its strategies, or from the setting of inappropriate objectives and strategies.  Internal control • The process designed, implemented and maintained by those charged with governance, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance about the achievement of an entity’s objectives with regard to reliability of financial reporting,
  • 8. DEFINITION OF ISA 315 effectiveness and efficiency of operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The term “controls” refers to any aspects of one or more of the components of internal control.  Risk assessment procedures The audit procedures performed to obtain an understanding of the entity and its environment, including the entity’s internal control, to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at the financial statement and assertion levels.  Significant risk An identified and assessed risk of material misstatement that, in the auditor’s judgment, requires special audit consideration.
  • 9. Requirements of ISA 315  Risk Assessment Procedures and Related Activities The auditor shall perform risk assessment procedures to provide a basis for the identification and assessment of risks of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion levels. Risk assessment procedures by themselves, however, do not provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the audit opinion. The risk assessment procedures shall include the following: • Analytical procedures. • Observation and inspection.
  • 10. Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity’s Internal Control  The Entity and Its Environment Relevant industry, regulatory, and other external factors including the applicable financial reporting framework. The nature of the entity, including: 1. Its operations. 2. Its ownership and governance structures. 3. The types of investments that the entity is making and plans to make, including investments in special-purpose entities. 4. The way that the entity is structured and how it is financed, to enable the auditor to understand the classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures to be expected in the financial statements.
  • 11. Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity’s Internal Control  The Entity’s Internal Control The auditor shall obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit. Although most controls relevant to the audit are likely to relate to financial reporting, not all controls that relate to financial reporting are relevant to the audit. It is a matter of the auditor’s professional judgment whether a control, individually or in combination with others, is relevant to the audit. • Nature and Extent of the Understanding of Relevant Controls. • Components of Internal Control environment.
  • 12. Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity’s Internal Control  The entity’s risk assessment process • The auditor shall obtain an understanding of whether the entity has a process for: • Identifying business risks relevant to financial reporting objectives. • Estimating the significance of the risks. • Assessing the likelihood of their occurrence. • Deciding about actions to address those risks.
  • 13. Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity’s Internal Control  Communication and Information System The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the information system, including the related business processes, relevant to financial reporting, including the following areas: • The procedures, within both information technology (IT) and manual systems, by which those transactions are initiated, recorded, processed, corrected as necessary, transferred to the general ledger and reported in the financial statements. The auditor shall obtain an understanding of how the entity communicates financial reporting roles and responsibilities and significant matters relating to financial reporting, including: • Communications between management and those charged with governance; and • External communications, such as those with regulatory authorities.
  • 14. ENTITY AND ITS ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING THE ENTITY’S INTERNAL CONTROL  Control activities relevant to the audit The auditor shall obtain an understanding of control activities relevant to the audit, being those the auditor judges it necessary to understand in order to assess the risks of material misstatement at the assertion level and design further audit procedures responsive to assessed risks. An audit does not require an understanding of all the control activities related to each significant class of transactions, account balance, and disclosure in the financial statements or to every assertion relevant to them. • In understanding the entity’s control activities, the auditor shall obtain an • understanding of how the entity has responded to risks arising from IT.
  • 15. Entity and Its Environment, Including the Entity’s Internal Control Monitoring of controls The auditor shall obtain an understanding of the major activities that the entity uses to monitor internal control over financial reporting, including those related to those control activities relevant to the audit, and how the entity initiates remedial actions to deficiencies in its controls.
  • 16. LIMITATIONS FOR THE ENTITY’S INTERNAL CONTROL • Effective internal control systems can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance to achieve the entity’s financial reporting objective due to the inherent limitations of internal control – for example, management override of internal controls. Therefore, auditors should identify and assess the risks of material misstatement at the financial statement level and assertion level for classes of transactions, account balances and disclosures.
  • 17. Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement The auditor shall identify and assess the risks of material misstatement at: • The financial statement level. • The assertion level for classes of transactions, account balances, and disclosures, to provide a basis for designing and performing further audit procedures.
  • 18. Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement Risks That Require Special Audit Consideration As part of the risk assessment, the auditor shall determine whether any of the risks identified are, in the auditor’s judgment, a significant risk. In exercising this judgment, the auditor shall exclude the effects of identified controls related to the risk. If the auditor has determined that a significant risk exists, the auditor shall obtain an understanding of the entity’s controls, including control activities, relevant to that risk.
  • 19. Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement  Appropriate Audit Evidence In respect of some risks, the auditor may judge that it is not possible or practicable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence only from substantive procedures. Such risks may relate to the inaccurate or incomplete recording of routine and significant classes of transactions or account balances, the characteristics of which often permit highly automated processing with little or no manual intervention. In such cases, the entity’s controls over such risks are relevant to the audit and the auditor shall obtain an understanding of them.
  • 20. Identifying and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement  Revision of Risk Assessment The auditor’s assessment of the risks of material misstatement at the assertion level may change during the course of the audit as additional audit evidence is obtained. In circumstances where the auditor obtains audit evidence from performing further audit procedures, or if new information is obtained, either of which is inconsistent with the audit evidence on which the auditor originally based the assessment, the auditor shall revise the assessment and modify the further planned audit procedures accordingly.
  • 21. Documentation • The auditor shall include in the audit documentation, • The discussion among the engagement team, and the significant decisions reached. • Key elements of the understanding obtained regarding each of the aspects of the entity and its environment, the sources of information from which the understanding was obtained; and the risk assessment procedures performed. • The identified and assessed risks of material misstatement at the financial statement level and at the assertion level. • The risks identified, and related controls about which the auditor has obtained an understanding.
  • 22. CONCLUSION Auditors should not underestimate the importance of ISA 315, as its requirements relating to risk assessment help to ensure that audits are responsive to individual audit clients’ circumstances. When applied properly, ISA 315 should help to reduce audit risk. Although the requirements of the ISA can seem onerous, careful application of the standard and appropriate use of auditor’s judgment should mean that compliance with documentation requirements is a relatively straightforward process.
