Risk of material misstatement at financial statement level means some thing wrong happen at financial statement level i.e. balance sheet, profit & loss, cash flow statement

where as risk of material misstatement at assertion level means some thing wrong happens at transactional level i.e. existence, ownership, rights, valuation, disclosures, completeness of each & every individual transaction

All doubts must be cleared. Mr. Sanjay and Mr Ajay has clarified in simplest way. Regards
