Evaluating for Attribute Sampling


  • Sample deviation rate + Allowance for sampling risk > Tolerable rate
    • bad result; cannot rely on control
  • Sample deviation rate + Allowance for sampling risk < Tolerable rate 
    • good result; can rely on control 
Definition:
  1. Upper deviation rate = sample deviation rate + allowance for sampling risk
  2. Tolerable rate of deviation =  highest deviation rate the auditor could accept & still conclude that the design and operation of an internal control is effective
    • used in drawing conclusion on effectiveness of control
    • based on auditor judgment
    • compared to upper deviation rate
  3. Sample deviation rate = (# of errors) / (sample size)
