Right. Internal controls do effect overall audit approach of external auditor. Where control enviornment is strong, a test of controls approach would generally result in increased audit efficiency as less testing would be required.

Internal audit has already moved from the control - centric era to the risk - centric era ! Risks not controls will mainly affect audit procedures !

It is right indeed my friend.In the present age auditors are adopting a risk based approach to auditing.In their initial assessment of internal controls if they realised that internal controls are weak then essentially they cant place reliance on them so they have to do their own detailed testing.
Also, any deficiencies in internal controls shall be reported to those charged with governance according to newly developed ISA265 Communicating deficiencies in internal controls to those charged with governance.
