Briefly describe the steps an auditor would take in obtaining, identifying, and assessing fraud risks per SAS 99. Provide some details related to each step of the process. Then decide whether or not auditors view themselves as responsible for discovering all fraudulent activities within an organization. Please explain your answer. Here is a link to SAS 99.
