An audit risk model is a conceptual tool applied by auditors to evaluate and manage the various risks arising from performing an audit engagement. The tool helps the auditor decide on the types of evidence and how much is needed for each relevant assertion.

The audit risk model indicates the type of evidence that needs to be collected for each transaction class, disclosure, and account balance. It is best determined during the planning stage and only possesses little value in terms of evaluating audit performance.

Audit Risk consist are Inherent Risk, Control Risk and Detection Risk. Inherent risk is the auditor’s assessment of the susceptibility to material misstatement of an assertion about a transaction class, an account balance. Control risk is the auditor’s assessment of how likely a material misstatement can occur in an assertion about a transaction class, account balance, or an attached disclosure and cannot be identified or prevented in a time-sensitive manner by the client’s pre-existing internal controls. Detection risk is the risk that audit evidence for any given audit assertion will fail to capture material misstatements. 

After analyzing the client’s business environment, the next phase of the audit risk model involves studying what internal controls the company has in place, how well they’re designed and if they’ve been implemented.

After analyzing internal and external factors that may influence the accuracy of the client organization’s financial statements, you can determine various aspects of your audit procedures, such as timing, nature and overall extent. As a general rule, you need to determine the aspects where risks are moderate to high and plan more rigorous testing to back your assertion.
