Question
Chapter 8, Problem 5CYBK
To determine
Introduction:Sampling risk is the risk that if the procedures were applied to the entire population, the auditor’s opinion will be different. Auditor has to do some basic working on the audit evidences before forming his opinion.
To explain:Whether the given statement is true or false.

The risk that the decision made based on the sample will differ from the decision madebased on the entire population is referred to asa. Audit risk.b. Examination risk.c. Sampling risk.d. Nonsampling risk
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.
Tolerable error, is the maximum monetary error that the auditor is prepared to accept in the population and still conclude that audit objective has been achieved, is directly related to
A.Sample size
BAudit risk
C.Materiality
D.Expected error
