In the area of financial audit, risk assessment and quantification shall form the basis for planning, carrying out of the mission, obtaining audit evidence and expressing opinion. Based on the literature synthesis, the research undertaken aimed to ensure that audit evidence is represented as a network of interconnected variables, statements about the synthesis documents for which the mission team collects evidence to determine whether or not they are correctly presented. The method of the services of assignment gives an important role to professional judgment when planning and during the course of the mission.
