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.
Which one of the following is the main problem with using non-probability sampling technique?
a.
The expense
b.
The results are never representative
c.
Human judgement error
d.
Non co-operation of informants
In using audit sampling for exception rates:
the auditor wants to know the most the exception rate is likely to be.
sampling error is the likelihood that the auditor will miss a monetary misstatement.
the upper limit of the interval estimate is known as the sampling risk.
CUER cannot be considered in the context of specific audit objectives.

How is this concept applied when auditors perform audit tests on a sample?arrow_forwardIt 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.
