Question
Chapter 8, Problem 44RSCQ
To determine
Introduction: Deviation limit is the range of the samples to avoid the unmanageable risk. The auditor should analyze the limit qualitative as well quantitative.
Reason about focusing to the deviation’s upper limit and explain the actions taken by the auditor when it exceeds the tolerable rate.

What are the risks if the auditor concludes controls are operating effectively based on the sample and Control Risk is set too low?
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
When selecting a variables sampling approach, when should the audit team use MUS and when should it use classical variables sampling?
