◦ Mean-per-unit estimation
◦ Point estimate
◦ Monetary unit
◦ Basic precision
Question 2
An auditor using nonstatistical sampling cannot formally measure sampling error and therefore must subjectively consider the possibility that the true population misstatement exceeds a tolerable amount. Which of the following factors should be considered by the auditor in making this assessment?
◦
| The dollar difference between the point estimate and tolerable misstatement | The extent to which items in the population have been audited 100 percent |
| Yes | Yes |
◦
| The dollar difference between the point estimate and tolerable misstatement | The extent to which items in the population have been audited 100 percent |
| No | No |
◦
| The dollar difference between the point estimate and tolerable misstatement | The extent to which items in the population have been audited 100 percent |
| Yes | No |
◦
| The dollar difference between the point estimate and tolerable misstatement | The extent to which items in the population have been audited 100 percent |
