Expanding the list, types of related services and non-audit services, changing the conditions for their provision leads to the need to expand the classification of components of audit risk. The article analyzes the components of audit risk and provides their characteristics. According to the results of the study, the existence of different methods of assessing audit risk has been identified, and the disadvantages of their use in practice have been identified. The complexity of the subject-matter of inspections, the expansion of the types of services provided by business entities, the need to take into account qualitative criteria in assessing audit risk, led to the need to establish the dependence of audit risk on various factors in the provision of one or another type of audit service. It has been proved that quantitative and qualitative estimation methods should be used in assessing audit risk. Based on the systematization of existing approaches to the classification of risks that arise during the provision of audit services, the proposed classification of components of audit risk, taking into account the types of audit services provided. To calculate the quantitative expression of the audit risk of providing related services and non-audit services, it is proposed to use a factor model based on the product of the numerical values of each individual component of the audit risk. The author stresses that the assessment of identified risks in the provision of related services, non-audit services must be carried out during the entire period of the assignment, based on the implementation of appropriate audit procedures (sending inquiries to the company, analytical procedures, supervision, inspections, etc.). The use of the proposed classification of risks and the methodological approach to the assessment of audit risk in the provision of audit services will contribute to the formation of the optimal volume and structure of audit procedures, tests, planning of the time of work of auditors.
