Results in a larger sample size than other selection methods.c. Can result in bypassing a number of items having similar characteristics.d. Cannot be used with statistical sampling plans.

Which of the following statements is correct about monetary unit sampling?a. The risk of incorrect acceptance must be specified.b. Smaller logical units have a higher probability of selection in the sample than larger units.c. Each logical unit in the population has an equally likely chance of being selected in the sample.d. The projected misstatement cannot be calculated when one or more misstatements are discovered.
An advantage of statistical sampling over nonstatistical sampling methods is that statistical methodsa. Afford more assurance than a nonstatistical sample of equal size.b. Provide an objective basis for quantitatively evaluating sampling risk.c. Can more easily convert the sample into a dual-purpose test useful for substantive procedures.d. Eliminate the need to use judgment in determining appropriate sample sizes
an advantage of selecting a sample by cluster rather than by use of a table of random numbers is that the cluster technique A. Reduces the size of the sample that is requiredB. Reduces the standard error of the sampleC. Reduces the time required to locate the individual items chosen for examinationD. Increase the precision and reliability of the sample
It is important to recognize that audit sampling may be constructed on a nonstatistical basis.If the auditor uses statistical sampling, probability theory will be used to determine sample sizeand random selection methods to ensure each item or GHc1 in value of the population has thesame chance of selection. Non-statistical sampling is more subjective than statistical sampling,typically using haphazard selection methods and placing no reliance on probability theory.However, in certain circumstances statistical sampling techniques may be difficult to use. Theauditor will review the circumstances of each audit before deciding whether to use statisticalor non-statistical sampling a. Describe to what extent statistical sampling enhances the quality of the audit evidence.b. Explain how judgement is used in statistical and non-statistical sampling c. Explain what you understand by the following terms:(i) Random sampling(ii) Monetary unit sampling.
Which of the following pairs of selection methods could appropriately be used in statistical sampling applications?a. Unrestricted random selection, block selection.b. Block selection, haphazard selection.c. Systematic random selection, haphazard selection.d. Unrestricted random selection, systematic random selection.
Which of the following is an advantage of nonstatistical sampling?a. It measures the audit team’s exposure to sampling risk.b. It is required by generally accepted auditing standards.c. It ensures that samples are randomly selected.d. It is typically less complex than statistical sampling
When the auditor goes through a population and selects items for the sample without regard to their size, source, or other distinguishing characteristics, it is called Block selection\ Haphazard selection Random selection Systematic selection
