Please respond to the following:

• Use the Internet or Strayer Library to research at least two companies that have experienced downgrades related to stock performance or bond ratings within the last five years.
• Analyze the primary ways in which auditors would use the information from downgrades to assess business risk or evaluate the likelihood that the downgrades would impact the auditor's assessment of the client's business environment. Ascertain the major ways in which this information would impact the audit risk model equation. Support your position.
• The auditor considers reliability of audit evidence collected and the reliability of that evidence to reduce the risk of financial statements containing undetected material errors. Compare and contrast at least two types of evidence, and make a recommendation as to which you believe is the most reliable in reducing risk. Support your position.
