Comprehensive Attributes Sampling. Audra Dodge, CPA, is performing an attributessampling plan for her audit of Truck Company. In her audit of cash disbursements, she hasidentified preparing a voucher and marking it as “paid” prior to preparing and mailing acheck to the vendor as an important control. Dodge defined any voucher that was not markedas “paid” as being a deviation. In performing her sampling application, she established the following parameters:Risk of overreliance 5%Expected population deviation rate 1.5%Tolerable rate of deviation 4%Required:a. Identify what factors Dodge considered in establishing the risk of overreliance, expectedpopulation deviation rate, and tolerable rate of deviation.b. Assume that Dodge wished to place additional reliance on this control. How would thataffect the three parameters in part (a)?c. Based on the original parameters, use AICPA sample size tables to determine the appropriate sample size.d. If Dodge selected the sample size in part (c) and…
Evaluating a Sampling Application. Tom Barton, an assistant accountant with a local CPAfirm, recently graduated from Other University. He studied statistical sampling for auditing in college and wants to impress his employers with his knowledge of modern auditingmethods.Barton decided to select a random sample of payroll checks for the test of controls usinga tolerable rate of deviation of 5 percent and an acceptable risk of overreliance of 5 percent. The senior accountant told Barton that 2 percent of the checks audited last year hadone or more errors in the calculation of net pay. He decided to audit 100 random checks.Because supervisory personnel had paychecks with higher amounts than production workers, he selected 60 of the supervisor checks and 40 checks of the others. He was very carefulto see that the selections of 60 from the April payroll register and 40 from the August payrollregister were random.The audit of this sample yielded two deviations, exactly the 2 percent rate…
Upper Limit on Misstatements Calculation: Monetary Unit Sampling. The auditorsmailed positive confirmations on 60 customers’ accounts receivable balances. The company’saccounts receivable balance comprised 2,356 customer accounts with a total recorded balanceof $19,600,000, and the sampling interval was $280,000. The auditors received four positiveconfirmation returns reporting exceptions. Upon follow-up, they found the following:∙ Account 2333. Recorded balance $8,345. The account was overstated by $1,669 becausethe client made an arithmetic mistake recording a credit memo. The company issued only86 credit memos during the year. The auditors examined all of them for the same arithmetic mistake and found no similar misstatements.∙ Account 363. Recorded balance $7,460. The account was overstated by $1,865 because thecompany sold merchandise to a customer with payment due in six months plus 15 percentinterest. The billing clerk made a mistake and recorded the sales price and the…
Monetary Unit Sampling with IDEA: Determining Sample Size. Assume that your audit team has established the following parameters for the examination of ELM’s sales transactions: Risk of incorrect acceptance 10% Tolerable misstatement $311,711 (or 8% of the recorded balance of the transactions) Expected misstatement $77,928 (or 2% of the recorded balance of the transactions) Required:a. Use IDEA to determine the necessary sample size, given the above parameters.Parts (b), (c), and (d) are independent scenarios that affect the sample size in this example.b. Assume that your audit team has decided to increase their reliance on internal controland permit a corresponding increase in the risk of incorrect acceptance from 10 percentto 15 percent, which maintains overall audit risk at the same level. What is the necessarysample size, holding all other factors constant?c. Assume that your audit team has decided to reduce the level of tolerable misstatementfrom $311,711 to $233,783 (or…
Evan Kristopher, CPA intends to use probability-proportional-to-size sampling. He has properly selected and audited a sample of 100 accounts receivable from his client’s population of 3,000 accounts. He calculated a sampling interval of $6,000 and the tolerable misstatement for the account is $30,000. Evan also recalls that “basic precision” is equal to the appropriate reliability factor multiplied times the sampling interval. He wishes to accept a risk of incorrect acceptance of 10%. He found that 97 of the 100 accounts in the sample were properly calculated. However, the following three errors existed: Book Value Audited Value $75 $70 1,000 750 9,300 6,720 Required: Calculate the projected misstatement. Calculate the basic precision. Calculate the incremental allowance. Calculate the upper limit on misstatement. What would the auditors’ conclusion be for the population based on the analysis? explain please
