COMPREHENSIVE CASES
CASE 1
An auditor has obtained the following data by selecting a random sample from an inventory population:
Number Audited Carrying
of Items Value Amount
Sample 200 P220,000 P200,000
Population 5,000 5,200,000
Required:
CASE 2
RNB has decided to use PPS sampling in an audit of client’s accounts receivable balance. RNB has
evaluated the client’s internal control and anticipates that misstatements will be found in the account
balance.
Recorded Audit
Amount Amount
1st misstatement P1,500 P1,200
2nd misstatement 9,000 8,750
3rd misstatement 200 0
4th misstatement 4,000 3,800
Required:
CASE 3
An auditor has been assigned to take a peso-unit sample of a population of vouchers in the purchasing
department. The population has a total carrying amount of P300,000. The auditor believes that a
maximum misstatement of P900 is acceptable and would like to have 95% confidence in the results. (The
reliability factor at 95% and zero misstatements = 3.00.)
1. Given a random start of P 50 as the first peso amount, what is the number of the fourth voucher to
be selected, assuming that the sample size will be 1,000?
2. In examining the sample, one overstatement was detected causing an extension of P 270 to the
tolerable misstatement. Assuming that the sample size was 1,000 and that the maximum peso
amount of overstatement if no misstatements were found was established to be P 900 before the
sampling analysis, what conclusion should the auditor now draws from the sampling information?
