GENERAL APPROACHES TO AUDIT
SAMPLING
- There are two sampling approaches that can be used by
the auditor to gather sufficient appropriate evidence.
1.) Statistical sampling
- Uses random based selection of sample.
- Uses the law of profitability to measure sampling risk
and Evaluate sample results.
2.) Non - statistical sampling
- that purely uses auditor judgment in estimating
sample risk, Determine sample size and Evaluating
sample results.

Audit Sampling Plan
Refers to the procedures an auditor applies to
accomplish a sampling application
ATTRIBUTABLE SAMPLING
• Designed to test the rate of deviation from a
prescribed control procedure.
•The auditor’s concern is the occurrence rate of
deviations in the population.
VARIABLE SAMPLING
• Designed to test whether an account balance is
materially misstated and therefore addresses numerical
measurements such as a peso value.

SAMPLING RISK
- arises from the possibility that the auditor’s conclusion
based on a sample maybe different from the conclusion
reached if the
entire population were subjected to the same audit
procedure.
-The confidence level ( reliability level) is the
mathematical complement of the applicable sampling risk
factor.
-Sampling risk is to measured and controlled. The auditor
control sampling risk by specifying the acceptable level
when developing the sampling plan.
In performing TEST OF CONTROL, the
aspects of sampling risk are:
