Control Tolerable Rate % Expected Rate % Sample Size Number of Failures Achieved Upper Limit1 5 0 0 2 5 1 3 3 10 0 1 4 5 0.5 1 5 10 3 2 b. explain why the sample sizes for controls 2 and 3 are different from those for control 1.c.
What is the general effect on sample size of using a 10% sampling risk
versus a sampling risk versus a sampling risk of 5%? Explain.d.
under what conditions would it be better to use the largest sample size
for all the conditions as opposed to using the individual sample sizes
in part (a)?e. assume a sample size of 80 is used for all five
controls. Determine the achieved upper limit of failures in the
population for each control and complete the table in part (a).f. based on the answers to part (e) on which of the controls can the auditor place the planned degree of reliance? Why?
