In: Accounting
Attributes sampling : A sampling plan enabling the auditors to estimate the rate of deviation (occurrence) in a population.
Stratification : Dividing a population into two or more relatively homogeneous subgroups.
Deviation rate : A defined rate of departure from prescribed controls
Tolerable deviation rate : Estimate of the maximum monetary misstatement that may exist in an account balance without causing the financial statements to be materially misstated.
Assessed level of control risk : Advance estimate of a deviation rate
Allowance for sampling risk : The maximum population rate of exceptions from a prescribed control that the auditor will accept without modifying the planned assessment of control risk
Sampling error : Difference between the actual rate or amount in the population and that of the sample.
Others :
An interval around the sample results in which the true population characteristic is expected to lie : Precision
Aspects of audit risk not due to sampling : Detection risk
The level of risk used by the auditors in determining the acceptable detection risk for a financial statement assertion. : Assessed risk
