You are planning to test the operating effectiveness of control over sales transactions recorded since the beginning of the year. See the flowchart in Topic 16. You will be performing manual selection of a random sample. REQUIRED: Identify the appropriate frame for selecting the sample. 2. You assess the preliminary risk of material misstatement, RMM p , to be 5%. The maximum tolerable deviation rate, MTDR, is 4%. The expected deviation rate, ER, is 0%. REQUIRED: Based on the above facts calculate a discovery sample size. 3. You selected and examined a sample. The sample disclosed to two deviations that are significant for the operating effectiveness of controls. REQUIRED: Based on the finding of two deviations, calculate the achieved risk of material misstatement, RMM. 4. If 10% is the required audit risk, use RMM to calculate required detection risk, DR, for a substantive test of details of sales transactions. ANSWERS ARE ON NEXT PAGE
