- In each of the following situations, indicate whether a fixed (F), sequential (S), or discovery (D) attributes sampling plan is being used. The audit team has determined the tolerable rate of deviation to be 5%, the risk of overreliance to be 10%, and the expected population deviation rate to be zero. The audit team is performing a sampling application to evaluate the operating effectiveness of an entity’s internal controls. The application used could provide a more efficient method of examination, but it is important that the audit team evaluate the sample in the order they were selected. The audit team established the risk of overreliance to be 5%, the tolerable rate of deviation to be 4%, and the expected population deviation rate to be 3%. Using the AICPA Sample Size tables, the audit team decided to sample over 1,000 items. Using the AICPA Sample Size tables, the audit team determined the appropriate sample size and selected the sample items. However,…arrow_forward20) Consider a production process that produces tires.
