Internal Controls reguarding nature timing and extend
write out answer
sampling for tests of controls
attribute testing 0 or 1
direct test for account balances and assertions
monetary testing $
sampling risk
risk of wrong conclusion due to auditing a sample rather than the population
non sampling risk
risk of being wrong for any reason other than sample not being representative of the population
statistical sampling enables you to
quanitfy the risk you are taking by using sampling
attribute testing
form of statistical sampling that allows you to estimate the failure rate of control procedure
tolerable mistatment
The maximum amount of misstatement in population that an auditor can accept without giving a qualified opinion or audit adjustment
MUS(PPS) and do you round up or down
Dollar mistreatment rather than control failure rate tests for overstatements when few misstatements are expected ie always down 15999 is 15000
When is sampling appropriate
confirmations, reperform calculations or inquire
expected failure rate
expected population deviation rate or in other words expected failure in population so the larger is it, the higher the sample size
if misstatement exceeds tolerable misstatement
propose adjustments to client
stratification
divide the population into two or more groups
control risk
susceptibility of a misstatement occurring that could be material to the financial statements before considering internal controls
Materiality(Overall, Planning)
is the financial statement materially correct?
Sampling interval?
Population size divided by sample size
What happens after a mistatment is detected?
Management and auditor jointly decide if it’s material enough to require corecting
Tatined percentage
relates to book value the amount of misstatement/items book value
allowance for sample error
factor used in planning samples that represent precision required to keep sampling level at required level
What management assertion would cause an auditor to use nonstatiscal
existence/occurence-how can you use stats when it doesn’t exist?
judgmental misstatements
Auditor thinks machine is 15 managment thinks machine is worth 14
summary of unadjusted audit differences(SUAD)
known and projected misstatements + carryover from Prior year. Communicated in management representation letter letter to audit commitie
intentional mistatment
reevaluate audit risk, consider revising nature(type), timing(year end or not) and extent of audit procedures. Consider resigning
Dual method
roll over(Focuses on current year and correcting previous years allows mistamtents on balance sheet) and iron curtain(focuses on years end balance sheet being correct does not take into account previous years misstatements)
