Exercise 102

Jerry Tim is examining an important internal control in the audit of Langly Company. In past audits, deviations from this control have been observed at a minimal rate (less than 0.1 percent); however, because the account balance affected by this control is highly susceptible to fraud, it is important that Tim obtain a high level of assurance that deviations occur at no higher than a predetermined (low) rate. Which of the following sampling methods would Tim most likely use to evaluate this control?
A) Attributes sampling.
B) Discovery sampling.
C) Sequential sampling.
D) Statistical sampling.
