Index of Reference Materials Introduction - RiskMates (RMs)
3 Benefits This reference material contains the RiskMates (RMs) developed for use in
conjunction with the Aura v6 Risk Library. The Aura v6 Risk Library includes inherent
5 Business Combinations
risks (i.e., what could go wrong/likely sources of potential misstatements) which may
7 Capital & Equity occur in business processes common in a manufacturing client. There is one RM for
each business process, and each business process contains several sub-processes. The
8 Derivatives and Hedge Accounting RMs may be helpful to engagement teams as they complete the migration of their
LSPMs to Aura v6, as well as to assess completeness of risks identified by
10 Financing engagements.
11 Intangible Assets & Goodwill
Purpose of the RiskMates
13 Payroll
While the RM are consistent with the related information included in the Library Risk
14 Period-end Financial Reporting Extract Report available on Spark, engagement teams may find the pdf format helpful
when migrating to the risks within the new Aura v6 Risk Library. The sector specific
16 Production & Inventory risks that are included in the Aura v6 sector libraries may be accessed through Aura v6
or the Library Risk Extract report.
17 Property, Plant & Equipment
The library risks included in the RMs do not reflect a complete listing of all risks that
19 Purchasing & Payables
may be appropriate on an engagement. Engagement teams may find that it is
20 Revenue & Receivables appropriate to use the library risks, tailor library risks, aggregate or disaggregate risks
or add custom risks based on their engagement specific circumstances.
22 Self-Insured Liabilities
As previously discussed in Aura v6 webcasts and training courses, engagement teams
23 Share-based Compensation Awards have invested considerable time and effort in recent years improving the specificity of
the risks in their LSPM templates, particularly risk associated with estimates. It is
25 Taxes
important that specific risks included in the existing LSPM Templates are
27 Treasury - Cash & Investments appropriately transitioned to Aura v6. This transition requires judgment and should
be discussed with more senior engagement team members.
30 Information Technology General Controls
Each RM has specific risks for each sub-process within a business process and
process-wide risks that do not necessarily relate to a specific sub-process. These
process-wide risks include segregation of duties, system interfaces, changes to master
file data, etc.
The Risk Mates typically contain 6 standard risks for estimates. These standard risks
include one combined risk and five disaggregated risks. The combined risk is intended
to be used for less complex estimates. For significant, more complex estimates,
engagement teams may select the disaggregated risks, and tailor them for their
engagement specific facts and circumstances. Estimates risks within the Risk Mates
are indicated by an asterisk “*”. Refer to PwC Audit 5161.01 and 5161.02 for further
guidance on auditing estimates.
