Audit Risk The risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate audit opinion when the
financial statements are materially misstated
Auditing A systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence
regarding assertions about economic actions and events to ascertain the
degree of correspondence between those assertions and established
criteria and communicating the results to interested users
Information Asymmetry The concept that the manager generally has more information about the true
financial position and results of operations of the entity than the absentee
owner does
Materiality The maximum amount by which the auditor believes the financial statements
could be misstated and still not affect the decisions of users
Misstatement A departure from the applicable reporting framework (e.g., GAAP) that, if
material, causes the financial statements to not be presented fairly.
Misstatements may be classified as fraud (intentional), other illegal acts such
as noncompliance with laws and regulations (intentional or unintentional),
and errors (unintentional)
