During the audit of Glazier LLC, a distributor of glass products throughout the continental United States, it has been determined by the auditor, Locktight CPAs, that the client's system of internal control is not as robust as had been initially thought. As a result of this finding, which of the following strategies is most likely? The auditor will assess risk of material misstatement as high and adopt a reliance approach, whereby the auditor will perform increased substantive testing, including tests of details. The auditor will advise the internal control function to begin remedying defective internal controls, and will return to the audit once these controls have been corrected. The auditor will assess the client's controls as defective, increase the risk of material misstatement and substantive tests, and decrease audit risk. The auditor is likely to assess the risk of material misstatement as high, and rely less on the client's controls. As a result, the auditor will increase substantive testing to compensate for this.
