Not all misstatements will be material enough to affect the fair presentation of the financial statement. A material misstatement is one that the auditors determine would change or influence the option of a reasonable person relying on the financial statements for information. Ultimately, auditors must exercise judgment to assess materiality based on the qualitative nature of the misstatements and their quantitative extent. Materiality is also based on auditors' assessment of control risk levels in the organization. The following factors may influence the auditors' assessment of control risk EXCEPT:

AManagement's awareness or lack of awareness of applicable laws and regulations

BClient policy regarding such matters as acceptable operating practices and codes of conduct

CAssignment of responsibility and delegation of authority to deal with such matters as
organizational goals and objectives, operating functions, and regulatory requirements

DNone of these

This question is a good reminder that being an auditor is not just about crunching numbers. It's also about applying professional judgment and considering the bigger picture.

Haha, the auditors must be having a tough time trying to figure out the right level of materiality. I bet they wish they had a magic 8-ball to help with that!

I think the key here is understanding that the question is asking for the factor that DOES NOT influence the auditors' assessment of control risk. The other options are all relevant considerations.

I agree with Myra. Management's awareness of laws and regulations should not influence the auditors' assessment of control risk levels.

The correct answer is D. None of these. The factors mentioned in A, B, and C are all related to the assessment of control risk, not the factors that are EXCLUDED from that assessment.
