Definition (or Partial Definition)
A defined rate of departure from prescribed controls. Also referred to as occurrence rate or exception rate.
A sampling plan for locating at least 1 deviation, providing that the deviation occurs in the population with a
specified frequency.
Also referred to as precision, a measure of the difference between a sample estimate (projection) and the
tolerable rate of deviation or tolerable misstatement at a specified sampling risk.
An estimate of the most likely amount of monetary misstatement in a population.
The complement of the risk of incorrect acceptance.
The maximum population rate of deviations from a prescribed control that the auditors will accept without
modifying the planned assessment of control risk.
The possibility that the assessed level of control risk based on the sample is less…

Which of the following steps involved with determining the upper limit on misstatements is ordinarily performed earliest?a. Multiply the sampling interval by the tainting percentage.b. Determine the audited value of the item and compare it to the recorded balance.c. Calculate the basic allowance for sampling risk.d. Calculate the incremental allowance for sampling risk.
