A considerable portion of the tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions are performed simultaneously as a matter of audit convenience. But the substantive tests of transactions procedures and sample size, in part, depend on the results of the tests controls. How can the auditors resolve this apparent inconsistency?
The risk that material errors will not be detected is directly controllable by the auditor through substantive tests of details and other substantive audit procedures.
IS THE STATEMENT TRUE OR FALSE? WHY?
Ordinarily, risk assessment procedures do not involve the use ofaudit sampling. However, the auditor often plans and performs tests of controls concurrently with obtaining an understanding of the design of controls and determining whether they have been implemented.

- As auditors move from the planning phase to the fieldwork phase of an audit, they recognize they will not be able to test all transactions in order to offer their opinion on the financial statements. Therefore, various sampling techniques and principles have been developed to assist the auditor in providing adequate coverage and a reliable opinion using samples of transactions.
