Under International Standards on Auditing (ISA) 240, auditors are required to investigate any indications of fraud, regardless of the materiality of the misstatement.

Evidence of intentional misstatements indicates the potential for broader fraudulent activity, necessitating a reassessment of audit procedures.

 Importance of Fraud Indicators:

Even if the misstatement does not exceed the materiality threshold, it represents a significant risk factor that could compromise the reliability of the financial statements.

Adjusting audit procedures ensures that the audit team addresses the broader implications of the fraud risk while maintaining professional skepticism and compliance with auditing standards​​.
