On Andit sampling involves applying an audit procedure to less than 100 percent of the population for the purpose of evaluating some characteristic of the population. When an auditor uses sampling. an element of uncertainty enters into the auditor's conclusions. Required: a. Explain the auditor's justification for accepting the uncertainties that are inherent in the sampling process. b. Discuss the uncertainties that collectively embody the concept of audit risk. c. Discuss the nature of sampling risk and nonsampling risk. Include the effect of sampling risk on tests of controls in terms of Type I and Type II errors. Accessibility: Investigate Styles
TRUE OR FALSE When sampling is used by an auditor, an element of uncertainty is present in the auditor's conclusion.   When evaluating the results of specific items selected for testing, its effects must be projected to the whole population.   In performing external confirmations, the management prepares the requests and receives and replies for communication to the auditor.   As the use of going concern assumption is always relevant un audit, the auditor shall evaluate whether uncertainty exists as the company's ability to continue as going concern.   Adverse key financial ratios and negative operating cash flows are some events that may cast doubt about the going concern of a company.   In searching for unrecorded liabilities, the population of audit interest is the schedule of accounts payable at period end.   Audit sampling refers to the application of audit procedures to less than 100% of the items in an account balance or class of transactions for the purpose of…
