Abstract Recent changes in the audit environment have increased the need for audit firms to maintain uniform audit quality. Yet the only widely recognized means to do this, the AICPA's audit risk formula, is shown to have properties that may significantly understate achieved audit risk. Specifically, omission or misspecification of elements of the audit outcome space leads to understatement. A completely specified audit outcome space is presented and analyzed via a numerical example. While the example is simplified, the concepts should be useful to those designing models of audit risk and practical audit strategies.
