Question
Which statement is incorrect about sampling risk?Select one:a.Risk of assessing control risk too low and risk of incorrect acceptance affects audit effectiveness as it would usually lead to additional work to establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.b.Sampling risk arises from the possibility that the auditor's conclusion, based on a sample may be different from the conclusion reached if the entire population were subjected to the same audit procedure.c.Risk of assessing control risk too high is the risk that the auditor will conclude, in the case of a test of control, that control risk is higher than it actually is.d.The mathematical complements of sampling risks are termed confidence levels.
Solution
All the statements provided are correct about sampling risk.
a. The risk of assessing control risk too low and the risk of incorrect acceptance do affect audit effectiveness. If these risks are not properly managed, the auditor may need to do additional work to confirm their initial conclusions.
b. Sampling risk does arise from the possibility that the auditor's conclusion, based on a sample, may be different from the conclusion if the entire population were subjected to
