Risk assessment and SoA

I just have a question regarding the ISO 27001 standard which I am busy doing my course on. Does the standard define that the SOA must have risks listed in it, Is this a requirement in order to be certified and would the auditor want to see this?

If I have a risk assessment documented already must I document the risks in the SOA as well?

Answer: The Statement of Applicability is required by ISO 27001 clause 6.1.3 d), so it is needed for certification purposes. In fact, it is one of the main documents used by the auditor during an audit.

Although important to the SoA to justify the applicability of controls, there is no need to document risks in the SoA. In such cases you can simply refer to the risks identifiers used on the risk assessment document (e.g., "control applicable to treat risks identified by numbers 12 and 34 in the risk assessment).

These article will provide you further explanation about mandatory documents and SoA:
