An organization establishes a system of internal control to help it manage many of the risks it faces, such risks are classified as follows:- * Inherent Risk * Control Risk * Detection Risk Establishing an internal control is the responsibility of the management, the elements (components) of internal control framework are the following:- * Control environment * Risk Assessment * Control Activities * Information & Communication * Monitoring
The key concept is "reasonable" assurance. The auditor does not provide absolute assurance, because this is not attainable due to factors like the need for judgment, the use of testing, the inherent limitations of internal control and the fact that audit evidence is generally persuasive rather than conclusive.
Distinguish between internal audit and internal control.
Inherent Risk, Control Risk and Detection Risk

Unlike other components of an internal control system, humans are subject to judgment errors which can create weaknesses in an otherwise strong internal control system. As a result, faulty human judgment is an inherent limitation of any system of internal control.
Unlike other components of an internal control system, humans are subject to judgment errors which can create weaknesses in an otherwise strong internal control system. As a result, faulty human judgment is an inherent limitation of any system of internal control.
Limitations of internal control include the potential for human error, management override, collusion among employees, limitations in the effectiveness of monitoring controls, and the cost of implementing and maintaining a strong system of controls. Awareness of these limitations is essential in designing and evaluating internal control systems.

Inherent Risk is embeded in the Model or the structure of the Company, such as Banks and financial institutions have an inherent risk of Robbery as cash is being handled at high volumes.This cant be controlled due to the basic structure of the business. The Auditor can not change this risk due to its embeded nature. Control Risk on the contrary is the Risk due to Internal Control implemented in order to minimize material misstatements. Management designs the internal control system in order to prevent material misstatement occurence. Auditor again cant change this and has to tune the Detection risk based on the level of these 2 risks.
