Audit Risk Model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Audit Risk Model

The Audit Risk Model is a foundational framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that structures audit planning by decomposing overall audit risk into three components: inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. This model guides auditors in allocating resources and designing audit procedures proportionate to the level of risk in each account or assertion.
