BAudit risk
C.Materiality
D.Expected error
The risks of incorrect acceptance in variables sampling and of overreliance in attributessampling both relate toa. Effectiveness of an audit.b. Efficiency of an audit.c. Control risk assessment decisions.d. Evidence about assertions in financial statements.
Auditors project the misstatements found in the sample tothe population when using statistical sampling, but not when usingnonstatistical sampling.
