To determine
Concept Introduction:
Audit risk is a risk that audit may provide an inappropriate opinion on the basis of his findings during the audit. There are some inherent risks and avoidable risk which result in an audit risk.
To indicate:The difference between the sampling risk and judgment errors.

The risk that the decision made based on the sample will differ from the decision madebased on the entire population is referred to asa. Audit risk.b. Examination risk.c. Sampling risk.d. Nonsampling risk
For both tests of controls and substantive tests of details, non-sampling risk can be reduced by increasing sample size, while sampling risk can be reduced by proper engagement planning supervision and review.
TRUE OR FALSE? WHY?
In determining the sample size for a
test of controls, an auditor should
consider the expected deviation rate,
desired confidence level, and the *
O Nature and cause of deviations
O Population size
O Risk of incorrect acceptance
O Tolerable deviation rate
