Hi Mamta,
Audit Risk = Inherent Risk + Control Risk + Detection Risk
It is governed by SA 200 (new)
Inherent risk is susceptibility of financial statements to misstatement
Control risk is that these misstatements will not be detected by internal controls
Detection risk is that auditor may not detect these misstatements
All the above risks are different from each other and all of them CONSTITUTE audit risk.
