Introduction:
Sampling applied test of control: The statistical sampling method is used to evaluatethe quality of population-based on given characteristics. Under this method, for a test of controls, the auditor will assess the deviations from given internal control. Before conducting the test of control, the auditor should carefully plan, perform, and evaluate the sampling application and complete all the documents at each stage of the sampling application.
The sample deviation rate, the computed upper deviation rate, and auditor conclusion for each control procedure.
