The likelihood of assessing control risk too high is the risk that the sample selected to test controlsSelect one:a.Does not support the tolerable misstatement for some or all of management's assertions.b.Contains proportionately fewer monetary errors or deviations from prescribed internal control policies or procedures than exist in the balance or class as a whole.c.Contains misstatements that could be material to the financial statements when aggregated with misstatements in other account balances or transaction classes.d.Does not support the auditor's planned assessed level of control risk when the true operating effectiveness of the control justifies such an assessment.

Solution

The likelihood of assessing control risk too high is the risk that the sample selected to test controls does not support the auditor's planned assessed level of control risk when the true operating effectiveness of the control justifies such an assessment. This means that the auditor has overestimated the risk of a misstatement occurring in the financial statements due to a lack of effective internal controls, when in reality, the controls are operating effectively. This can lead to the auditor performing more substantive testing than is necessary, which can be inefficient and costly.
