Use of Business Model In Audit Planning and Risk Assessment

- Business model shows customer value creation, key resources, key processes and profit formula (..reference..). 

- ISA 315 requires to understand the business environment and internal control of the entity, which leads to business risk and finally to business strategy

- business risk is derived from chances of failure on achievements of business strategy

- though primary concern of the auditor is audit risk and not business risk

- strategy however made by an entity, often, is vague, confidential in many cases and not much of use for the auditors 

- strategy often get too much concerned about external environment to match Opportunities with strength, if not to build strength for those opportunities 

- FS shows internal information except for some revaluations, and mark to market practices, under IFRS

- in such situations to document and to understand the environment (both internal and external) of an entity, business model can be the starting point

- business model shows how that business connect internal factors of production given state of technology with market dynamics or at-least how it plan to do so

- strategy is to fulfill that plan given by the business model 

- hence Business Model can be efficient and effective tool in Audit Planning and Risk Assessment processes

Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...
