Which one of the sentences below is FALSE? A. The risk of incorrect acceptance called beta risk has the consequence that the auditor may assume that the population is free of material misstatement. B. The risk of incorrect rejection is called alpha risk and has the consequence that the auditor may assume on the basis of sample results that a population is materially misstated when, in fact, it is not . C. The risk of incorrect acceptance is called beta risk. D. The risk of incorrect rejection very common in audit sampling is called beta risk.

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.

An auditor who uses statistical sampling for attributes in testing internal controlsshould reduce the planned reliance on a prescribed control when the(1) sample exception rate plus the allowance for sampling risk equals the tolerable rate.(2) sample exception rate is less than the expected rate of exception used inplanning the sample.(3) tolerable rate less the allowance for sampling risk exceeds the sample exceptionrate.(4) sample exception rate plus the allowance for sampling risk exceeds the tolerablerate.
Which of the following statements is false? A) Top-stratum items are population items whose book value likely exceed the Sampling Interval and would be all selected for examination and evaluation during the audit. B) Because the auditor knows the full amount of errors in the top stratum (since all items are evaluated), no estimate of errors or projection to the population for the errors in the top stratum is required. C) The auditor's evaluation of the most likely misstatements in the sample reflects the sum of the misstatements from the top-stratum and the projected misstatement derived from the each lower-stratum items D) None of the above

Which of the following statements is not true with respect to the calculation of the upperlimit on misstatements?a. The tainting percentage is determined based on the difference between the recorded balance and the audited value.b. A separate incremental allowance for sampling risk is calculated for each misstatementdiscovered by the auditor.c. If no misstatements are detected, the basic allowance for sampling risk equals zero.d. The projected misstatement is determined by multiplying the sampling interval by thetainting percentage.
