Template
Evaluate the control deficiency identified during testing: 1) Restate the control's objective, the assertion it supports, and the deficiency observed from the testing documentation. 2) Assess design vs. operating effectiveness: is the control poorly designed, or well-designed but executed incorrectly? 3) Evaluate compensating controls: do other controls achieve the same objective, and were they tested? 4) Quantify potential magnitude: the maximum misstatement that could occur undetected, compared against materiality of {materiality}. 5) Assess likelihood: frequency of the control's operation, transaction volume exposed, and complexity involved. 6) Classify the deficiency: control deficiency, significant deficiency, or material weakness — with the reasoning chain documented for audit committee review. Present the aggregation consideration: could this combine with other known deficiencies?
