Identify the factors an auditor uses to decide the appropriateARO. Compare the sample size for an ARO of 10% with that of 5%, all other factorsbeing equal.
The upper precision limit (CUER) in statistical sampling is(1) the percentage of items in a sample that possess a particular attribute.(2) the percentage of items in a population that possess a particular attribute.(3) a statistical measure, at a specified confidence level, of the maximum rate ofoccurrence of an attribute.(4) the maximum rate of exception that the auditor would be willing to accept inthe population without altering the planned reliance on the attribute.
S1: Mean per unit estimation is a classical variable sampling technique that projects the sample average to the total population by multiplying the sample average by the number of items in the population. S2: The more the auditor is relying on other substantive procedures to reduce to an acceptable level the detection risk regarding a particular population, the less assurance the auditor will require from sampling, and the smaller the sample size can be.
a. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE TRUE
b. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE FALSE
c. ONLY S1 IS TRUE
d. ONLY S2 IS TRUE
