- TRUE OR FALSE When evaluating the results of specific items selected for testing, its effects must be projected to the whole population. Audit sampling refers to the application of audit procedures to less than 100% of the items in account balance or class of transactions for the purpose of evaluating some of its characteristics. In performing external confirmations, the management prepares the requests and receives and replies for communication to the auditor. One of the ways to gain knowledge of any lirigations and claims is through an examination of professional or legal expenses and related source documents. Related parties generally unreliable in nature which leads to the auditor performing procedures to examine transactions with them.arrow_forwardIn non-statistical sampling, _______. the auditor determines samples size, sample selection methods, and evaluates the sample results on the basis of the professional judgment and the auditor’s own experience. the auditor determines samples size, sample selection methods, and evaluates the sample results entirely on the basis of predetermined statistical parameters. the auditor uses the internal audit function to gather samples the auditor selects a sample of certain balance sheet accounts and exclusively audits them If an auditor wishes to draw attention to important information that is already presented or disclosed in the financial statements, the auditor would include a _______. qualified opinion disclaimer of opinion emphasis-of-matter paragraph scope limitation paragraph _______ are used near the end of the audit to assist the auditor in forming an overall conclusion about whether the financial statements…arrow_forwardIdentify the factors an auditor uses to decide the appropriateARO.

- Sample Size Determination. Review each of the following independent sets of conditions.Required:Use AICPA sample size tables to identify the appropriate sample size for use in a statistical sampling application (ROO = risk of overreliance, EPDR = expected population deviation rate, TRD = tolerable rate of deviation).

- Blake and Caroline, two audit managers assigned to the audit of Legolas Enterprises are discussing samples and sample sizes in conjunction with the audit of the client's system of internal control. Blake mentions that back in college when he took an auditing class, he recalled the professor saying that audit sample size was tied to the level of assurance that the auditor ultimately wished to obtain. Which of the following responses by Caroline is most likely to help Blake understand this connection? O The professor was mistaken. There really isn't any relationship between the level of assurance the auditor wishes to obtain and the sample sizes used in an audit. O Although there is a definite relationship between desired level of assurance and sample size, most auditors simply audit the population of interest when they wish to increase the desired level of assurance. O Generally speaking, if an auditor wishes to increase the desired level of assurance, he or she will typically increase…arrow_forwardDuring the planning phase of an audit client, Ana Alitick (auditor) utilises analytical procedures.

Based on a discussion with Cowboy’s management,Phillips determined that Cowboy Company’s employees were required to indicate their compliance with this control by writing their initials in an appropriate place on the invoice copy.Assume that Phillips established an acceptable risk of overreliance of 5 percent, anexpected population deviation rate of 3 percent, and a tolerable rate of deviation of 9 percent.Required:a. Using AICPA sample size tables, determine the appropriate sample size.b. Indicate how Phillips would assess the three parameters that are used to determine sample size (risk of overreliance, expected population deviation rate, and tolerable rate ofdeviation).c.
