Q

Which of the following auditor concerns most likely could be so serious that the auditor concludes that a financial statement audit cannot be performed?

A

if he/she determined that a substantial risk of intentional misapplication of accounting principles existed.
The key word is “intentional” as the risk of management override is an inherent limitation of any internal control system. Management can override the system to make material misstatements in the financial statements and the auditors may not be able to detect such entries.
If management is believed to be intentionally misapplying accounting principles, the financial statements are likely to contain material misstatements that may be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to detect. Thus, the auditors would withdraw from the engagement.
