There are Inherent Limitations of an Accounting and Internal Control System operating at the audit client:
Examples are:
Management override of Internal Controls
Human error (typing mistakes).
Cost/benefit trade off (where it’s not cost feasible to implement controls)
Practice of fraud and intentional misrepresentation by the management is also an Inherent Limitation for the Audit. ( to be discussed in ISA 240 )
