CHAPTER 6
SAMPLING AND OVERVIEW OF THE RISK RESPONSE PHASE OF THE AUDIT
1.Explain how audit sampling is used in an audit. When creating an audit plan and designing
audit procedures, an auditor also decides how to select appropriate items for testing. When
there are numerous transactions or items within an account balance available for testing, an
auditor must decide how best to select a sample that is representative of the entire population of
items available for testing.
2. Understand the difference between sampling and non-sampling risk. Sampling risk is
the risk that the sample chosen by the auditor is not representative of the population of
transactions or items within an account balance available for testing and, as a consequence, the
auditor arrives at an inappropriate conclusion. Non-sampling risk is the risk that an auditor
arrives at an inappropriate conclusion for a reason unrelated to sampling issues, such as an
auditor using an inappropriate audit procedure.
5. Determine the factors that influence the sample size when testing controls. When
testing controls, the factors that influence the sample size include the extent to which the risk of
material misstatement is reduced by the operating effectiveness of controls, the rate of deviation
from the prescribed control activity that the auditor is willing to accept, the rate of deviation from
the prescribed control activity that the auditor expects to find in the population, the auditor’s
required confidence level, and the number of sampling units in the population.
6. Determine the factors that influence the sample size when substantive testing. When
conducting substantive testing of transactions and balances, the factors that influence the
sample size include the auditor’s assessment of the risk of material misstatement, the use of
other substantive procedures directed at the same assertion, the auditor’s required confidence
level, the tolerable error, the amount of error the auditor expects to find in the population, the
stratification of the population, and the number of sampling units in the population.
7. Outline how to evaluate the results of tests conducted on a sample. When testing
controls, the auditor will compare the rate of deviation with the tolerable rate of deviation and
determine whether they believe that the control tested is effective in preventing and/or detecting
6–4 Test Bank for Auditing: A Practical Approach, Second Canadian Edition
a material misstatement. When testing transactions and balances, the error in the sample will be
projected onto the population and then compared to the tolerable error rate. The auditor will
then determine whether the class of transactions or account balance being tested appears to be
materially misstated.
8. Understand the difference between tests of controls and substantive tests. The purpose
of tests of controls is to assess the effectiveness of a client’s system of internal controls
throughout the accounting period being audited. The purpose of substantive testing is to gather
direct evidence that the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
9. Explain the factors that impact the nature, timing, and extent of audit testing. The
nature of audit testing refers to the purpose of the test and the procedure used. The timing of
audit testing refers to the stage of the audit when procedures are performed and the date, such
as within or outside the accounting period, that audit evidence relates to. The extent of audit
testing refers to the amount of audit evidence gathered when testing controls and conducting
detailed substantive procedures.

TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS
1. An audit plan includes the audit procedures to be used when testing controls and when
conducting detailed substantive audit procedures.
2. Tests of controls are audit procedures designed to detect material misstatements at the
assertion level.
3. The timing of audit testing refers to the stage of the audit when procedures are performed
and the date that audit evidence relates to.
5. Sampling risk is the risk that the sample chosen by the auditor is not representative of the
population available for testing.
6. The risk that the auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it does not is
likely to result in an increase in audit effort when it is not required.
7. Non-statistical sampling involves random selection and probability theory to evaluate the
results.
8. Stratification is when an auditor selects a sample for testing by dividing the number of
population items by the sample size, resulting in the sampling interval.
9. Block selection involves the selection of items that are grouped together within the population
of items available.
10. Tolerable error is the minimum error an auditor is willing to accept within the population
tested.
11. An increase in the number of sampling units in the population will result in a decrease in the
sample size.
12. When auditors conclude that an internal control is effective, they will rely on the control to
prevent and detect a material misstatement and reduce their detailed substantive procedures.
6–6 Test Bank for Auditing: A Practical Approach, Second Canadian Edition
13. When conducting substantive testing, an increase in the auditor's assessment of the risk of
material misstatement will result in an increase in the size of the sample.
14. Stratification of the population will result in less efficient sampling and increase the sample
size required.
15. Projected error refers to the extrapolation of the errors detected when testing a sample to
the population from which the sample was drawn.

SA 53
Indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statements and explain your
reasoning.
a) Karen Elliott was explaining to her group partner that the completeness assertion implies
that transactions and events that have been recorded have occurred and pertain to the
entity.
b) Joseph Cabana was explaining to Carl Metz how sampling risk works for the audit team:
“Sampling risk is the risk that as auditors we will arrive at a conclusion that has nothing to
do with sampling issues.”
c) Robert Scardera was vehemently arguing about the benefits of using non-statistical versus
statistical sampling methods for a client in the excavation business. Here is what he had to
say about non-statistical sampling: “Non-statistical sampling is easier to use than statistical
sampling, it requires less staff training, it has lower cost, and it allows an auditor to make a
sample choice that they believe is appropriate.”
d) Elaine Mathers has started her sample selection of sales transactions for a gemstone
conglomerate. She believes that she can improve audit efficiency by stratifying the sample.
Solution:
a) Disagree. The occurrence assertion implies that transactions and events that have been
recorded have occurred and pertain to the entity. The completeness objective infers that all
transactions that should have been recorded, indeed have been recorded.
b) Disagree. Joseph Cabana was describing non-sampling risk. Sampling risk is the risk that
an auditor will conclude that a material misstatement exists when it does not or a material
misstatement does not exist when it does.
c) Agree. All the elements Robert brings up are generally true. Statistical sampling can have
the disadvantage of the cost involved in using it. Most audit firms use a combination of
statistical and non-statistical sampling as both methods provide appropriate audit evidence
and allow the auditor to form a conclusion on the items being tested.
d) Agree. Stratification can be used ahead of random selection to improve audit efficiency.
This means that an auditor partitions a population ahead of sampling, by identifying sub
populations with similar characteristics. For example, for accounts receivable, the auditor
may stratify high dollar items or balances that are overdue. After stratifying a population,
items can be randomly selected within each stratum. Thus, stratification can be used to
ensure the sample includes items that have the characteristics required by the auditor, such
as the inclusion of material or risky items in the sample, while remaining a statistical
sampling technique, when items are randomly selected.
Overview of tests of controls, substantive procedures and sampling 6 – 17
SA 54
Explain the differences between the main objectives of tests of controls and substantive
procedures.
Solution:
Tests of controls are conducted to establish that controls: operate effectively, meaning that the
rate of deviation from prescribed control procedures are minimized and controls effectively
prevent and detect material misstatements, and operate consistently throughout the accounting
period.
When conducting detailed substantive procedures, an auditor searches for evidence that
recorded transactions occurred and relate to the client (occurrence assertion), that all
transactions have been recorded (completeness assertion), that all transactions have been
recorded at appropriate carrying amounts (accuracy assertion), that all transactions have been
recorded in the correct accounting period (cut-off assertion) and that all transactions have been
recorded in the correct accounts (classification assertion). Detailed substantive procedures also
involve an auditor searching for evidence that recorded accounts such as assets, liabilities and
equity accounts exist (existence assertion), that all accounts that should have been recorded
have been recorded (completeness assertion), that recorded accounts represent items owned
by the client or amounts owed by the client to third parties (rights and obligations assertion) and
that recorded accounts appear at appropriate carrying amounts (valuation and allocation
assertion).
SA 55
Explain sampling risk as it relates to both tests of controls and substantive procedures.
Solution:
Sampling risk is the risk that the sample chosen by the auditor is not representative of the
population of transactions or items within an account balance available for testing and, as a
consequence, the auditor arrives at an inappropriate conclusion. When testing controls,
sampling risk is the risk that an auditor relies on their client's system of internal controls when
they should not do so (that is, the auditor concludes that their client's internal controls are
effective when they are ineffective), and the risk that an auditor concludes that their client's
internal controls are less reliable than they really are (that is, the auditor concludes that their
client's internal controls are ineffective when they are effective). When conducting substantive
tests, sampling risk is the risk that an auditor concludes that a material misstatement does not
exist when it does or an auditor concludes that a material misstatement exists when it does not.
SA 56
Describe the major types of sampling techniques available to auditors.
Solution:
There are a range of sampling techniques available to auditors which include random selection,
systematic selection, haphazard selection, block selection and judgment selection. Random
selection requires that the person selecting the sample does not influence the choice of items
selected. The resulting sample is then free from bias and each item within the population has an
equal chance of being selected for testing. Random number generators can be used to select a
sample. Systematic selection involves the selection of a sample for testing by dividing the
6 – 18 Test Bank for Auditing: A Practical Approach, Second Canadian Edition
number of items in a population by the sample size, resulting in the sampling interval (n). Once
the sampling interval has been determined a starting point is selected, which is an item in the
population below the sampling interval, and then the sample is selected by selecting the first
item and then every nth item after that. Haphazard selection involves the selection of a sample
by an auditor without using a methodical technique. Block selection involves the selection of
items that are grouped together within the population of items available. Judgmental selection
involves the selection of items that an auditor believes should be included in their sample for
testing. When testing controls, judgment may be used to ensure that transactions processed
when a new computer is installed are included in the sample. When conducting substantive
testing, judgment may be used to include in the sample large or unusual items.
SA 57
Identify and explain the factors that influence the sample size for tests of controls.
Solution:
There are a number of factors that will influence the sample size when testing controls. The first
factor is an increase in the extent to which the risk of material misstatement is reduced by the
operating effectiveness of controls. If an auditor believes that a control will be effective in
reducing an identified risk of material misstatement, their audit strategy will be to increase
testing of that control to ensure it is effective. When concluding that a control is effective, an
auditor will rely on that control to prevent and detect a material misstatement, and reduce their
detailed substantive procedures. The second factor is an increase in the rate of deviation from
the prescribed control activity that the auditor is willing to accept. There is an inverse
relationship between the tolerable rate of deviation and sample size. If an auditor intends to rely
on a control to prevent and detect a material misstatement, a lower tolerable error rate will be
set and the sample size will be increased to provide the auditor with the evidence required to
demonstrate that the control is effective. If an auditor expects to place relatively more reliance
on their substantive procedures and reduce their reliance on an internal control, they will
increase the tolerable rate of deviation and reduce the sample size when testing the control.
The third factor is an increase in the rate of deviation from the prescribed control activity that the
auditor expects to find in the population. If an auditor believes that the rate of deviation has
increased when compared to prior audits, they will increase the sample size to accurately
evaluate the impact of the changed circumstances. The fourth factor is an increase in the
auditor's required confidence level. When control risk is assessed as low for a risk factor, an
auditor's required level of confidence in the effectiveness of their client's internal control is
higher than when control risk is assessed as medium to high. If an auditor is to rely on their
client's internal control procedures to prevent or detect an identified material misstatement, their
required confidence level in that control increases and they will increase the sample size when
testing that control. The fifth and final factor is an increase in the number of sampling units in the
population. When a population is large and fairly homogenous, there is little benefit from
continuing to increase the sample size as the results from continued testing should confirm early
findings.
SA 58
Explain how auditors evaluate the results of tests of controls conducted on a sample.
Solution:
After an auditor has completed their audit testing, the next stage is to evaluate the results.
When testing controls, an auditor will consider whether the results of their tests applied to a
Overview of tests of controls, substantive procedures and sampling 6 – 19
sample provide evidence that the control tested is effective within the entire population. If an
auditor discovers departures from prescribed controls when testing controls, a deviation rate will
be calculated. The deviation rate is the proportion of departures within the sample. If the sample
is representative of the population, the auditor will compare this deviation rate with their
tolerable rate of deviation. If the rate of deviation exceeds the tolerable rate, the auditor will
extend their testing and gather further evidence of other controls that may be aimed at reducing
the identified risk of material misstatement. If after conducting more testing the auditor finds that
the rate of deviation remains consistent with their initial findings and other controls are similarly
ineffective, the auditor will conclude that the client's system of internal controls cannot be relied
upon to prevent or detect a potential material misstatement and the auditor will increase their
reliance on their substantive tests of the account tested.
