Question:
An experienced auditor knows the procedures associated with assessing fraud or other inherent risks. In today's scandal-ridden financial environment, an auditor's ability to spot the trappings of potential hidden problems in an audited entity's internal control system is essential.

Your discussion needs to consider the limitations of systems in both a large company and a small company and the constraints of cost-benefit.
