Which of the following statements about attribute sampling is correct?
A.
Larger transactions have a higher chance of being selected into the sample than smaller transactions.
B.
The risk of over-reliance does not affect the sample size.
C.
Attribute sampling is often used in the test of controls.
D.
The haphazard selection method is often used for attribute sampling.
E.
If the estimated population deviation rate is higher than the tolerable deviation rate, auditors conclude the internal control is effective.
In audit sampling applications, sampling risk isa. A characteristic of statistical sampling applications but not of nonstatistical applications.b. The probability that the audit team will fail to recognize erroneous accounting in the client’sdocumentation.c. The probability that accounting misstatements will arise in transactions and enter theaccounting system.d. The probability that an audit team’s conclusion based on a sample might be differentfrom the conclusion based on an audit of the entire population.
In using audit sampling for exception rates:
the auditor wants to know the most the exception rate is likely to be.
sampling error is the likelihood that the auditor will miss a monetary misstatement.
the upper limit of the interval estimate is known as the sampling risk.
CUER cannot be considered in the context of specific audit objectives.
