Fraud Risk Assessment/Evidence
Method evidence record

Fraud Risk Assessment

Fraud Risk Assessment is a structured audit methodology required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for identifying and evaluating risks that financial statements could be materially misstated due to fraud. Unlike audit risk assessment focused on error, fraud assessment considers intentional deception by management or employees, incorporating fraud theory, the corporate environment, and specific fraud risk factors to design targeted audit procedures.
