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 .

The risk of incorrect acceptance is called beta risk.
D.
The risk of incorrect rejection very common in audit sampling is called beta risk.

- 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.

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 abovearrow_forwardIn 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.
