Definition of Samplingthe application of compliance or substantiveprocedure to less than 100% of the items withinan account balance or class of transactions to
enable the auditor to obtain and evaluateevidence of some characteristic of the class orbalance and to form or assist in forming characteristic of the class or balance and to form
or assist in forming a conclusion concerning thecharacteristic
(AICPA Definition)

When is Sampling Used? Study and evaluation of internal control
Sampling for Internal Controls procedures to verify
compliance
(Attribute sampling)
Substantive procedures
Selecting components or transactions of account
balances for verification
(Variables sampling)

NEED FOR SAMPLING
Saves time
Involves less cost
Is the only alternative in some cases, when 100%checking is not feasible, like blood tests.
Better results than 100% testing in some cases

Audit Sampling
The auditor takes a sample to reach a conclusion
about the population as a whole.
It is important that the sample be representativeof the population from which it was selected.

Methods Of Sampling Statistical:
Statistical sampling is the selection of a sub set from a
population in such a way that each sampling unit has
an equal and known chance of selection
Non Statistical:
Non statistical samples are samples selected by other
means which are intended to approximate the
representative character of a statistical sample.

Advantages of statistical over non-statistical sampling
Because each sampling unit has an equal and known
chance of selection, there is a better chance that the
sample will be representative of the population than is the casewith a non-statistical sample. When expressing an opinion on
financial statements, having a representative sample is very
important.
Because there is a better chance that the sample will be
representative of the population, the sample results are
more objective and defensible, as are the projections of those
results to the population as a whole.

The difference between statistical and non statisticalsampling is the method of selecting the sample items.All the planning requirements remain the same.
There are two basic sample selection rules:
The sample conclusion only applies to the population from
which it is selected
The sample should be representative of the population fromwhich it is selected.

Sample Risk The chance that sample is not representative of
the population from which it was selected.
If it is not representative the auditor could reachan incorrect conclusion.
Due care should be taken at planning stage.

Confidence Level The confidence level is the degree of assurance
that the auditor has that the sample isrepresentative of the population from which it
was selected.
For a 90% confidence level, there is a 90%chance that the sample will be representative of
the population from which it was selected.

Population The basic rule states that the sample conclusion
only applies to the population from which it isselected.
If the auditor wants to rely on the internalcontrol structure for the entire year, it would bebest that is sample is taken from the entire year

Sample Selection Methods Statistical:
Random
Fixed Interval (Systematic)
Cell (Random Selection) Stratified Random
Non Statistical: The objective is to try to approximate one of these
methods

then using a random number table to selectrandom numbers.

Systematic selection This is a selection method in which one or two
items are selected randomly, but other items areselected by adding the average sampling interval
to the item selected randomly. For example, if 5items are to be selected and the average samplinginterval is 200, the items selected could be 14,214, 414, 614 and 814. In this the first item (14)
is selected randomly and subsequent items areselected by adding the average sampling interval(200).

Stratification
To assist in the efficient and effective design ofthe sample, stratification may be appropriate.
Stratification is the process of dividing apopulation into sub-populations, each of whichis a group of sampling units, which have similarcharacteristics.
The population can be stratified based onmonetary ranges e.g expenditure, etc.

Non Statistical Selection The auditor uses judgement to approximate one
of the methods used in statistical sampling.
However, the sample size should be increased by20 to 50 percent to compensate for the fact thatthe sample may not be truly representative.

Non Statistical Sampling. Periodic selection. The auditor could divide the
sample size by 52 to determine how many sample items should be selected from each week
of the year, and then select the appropriatenumber of items from the transactions processedin each of those weeks. If there are fewer than52 sample items, the auditor could use half-
months or months.
