Required:1. Discuss why the auditor would be concerned about engagement risk and identify two or more activities the auditors might perform to reduce engagement risk.2. You should also discuss two methods, with examples, by which an auditor could get an understanding of an audit client and its environments, and how this understanding could be used in planning the nature, timing, and extent of the audit.
