If the UML or Projected Misstatement in a sampling is $8,000, while the tolerable misstatement is $9,000, what would an auditor likely conclude?
A) Since the UML or Projected Misstatement is less than the tolerable misstatement, the account is not materially misstated.
B) Since the UML or Projected Misstatement is less than the tolerable misstatement, the account is misstated.
C) The analysis has been improperly performed since the UML or Projected Misstatement is unequal to the tolerable misstatement
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.
