What are the risks if the auditor concludes controls are operating effectively based on the sample and Control Risk is set too low?
Which one of the sentences below is FALSE?
A.
The risk of incorrect acceptance called beta risk has the consequence that the auditor may assume that the population is free of material misstatement.
B.
The risk of incorrect rejection is called alpha risk and has the consequence that the auditor may assume on the basis of sample results that a population is materially misstated when, in fact, it is not .
C.
The risk of incorrect acceptance is called beta risk.
D.
The risk of incorrect rejection very common in audit sampling is called beta risk.
Risk of incorrect rejection is defined as _______.
the risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement does not exist when it does exist
the risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it does not exist
the risk that an auditor incorrectly rejects a client
the risk that management may reject the audit opinion issued by the auditor
An advantage of statistical sampling _______.
is that it allows an auditor to measure control risk
is that it allows an auditor to measure sampling risk
is that it allows an auditor to measure inherent risk
is that it is cheaper to perform, resulting in lower audit fees for the client
