Setting tolerable misstatements when auditing aggregated accounts
Article Abstract:
An efficient and easy-to-implement optimal solution approach for the problem of setting tolerable misstatements in the face of constraints on tolerable misstatements for individual account balances as well as the overall audit is introduced. The method is unlike classical sampling approaches that have not enjoyed wide use because of the perception that they are complex and difficult to apply. The efficiency of the solution approach and the settings wherein it provides a more effective sampling plan than monetary unit sampling are demonstrated through a number of auditing problems.
