which types of revenue, revenue transacti<strong>on</strong>s or asserti<strong>on</strong>s give rise <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> such risks. Paragraph<br />
47 of ISA 240 specifies the documentati<strong>on</strong> required where the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r c<strong>on</strong>cludes that the<br />

produc<strong>in</strong>g the bias, if any, represent a risk of material misstatement due <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> fraud. In<br />
perform<strong>in</strong>g this review, the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r shall:<br />
(i) Evaluate whether the judgments and decisi<strong>on</strong>s made by management <strong>in</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
account<strong>in</strong>g estimates <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements, even if they are <strong>in</strong>dividually<br />
