    D Lower, Higher, Higher Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Lower audit risks imply that the auditor is more confident that the financial statements are free from material misstatements. Higher materiality means that the auditor sets a higher threshold for what is considered a material misstatement, which means smaller errors are considered immaterial. Lower audit effort is required when the auditor has lower risks and higher materiality, as they need to perform fewer procedures to achieve their audit objectives.
