AUDIT SAMPLING – A TOOL TO BALANCE AUDIT PRECISION AND COST

independent financial audit, audit sampling, professional skepticism, audit evidence, audit quality.

The ongoing global economic crisis presents new challenges for the auditing profession, as audit clients are increasingly exposed to financial instability and a heightened risk of bankruptcy. In response, auditors must enhance their application of professional scepticism and ensure the collection of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. A key approach to achieving this is using audit sampling – employing both statistical and non-statistical methods. When applied in a complementary manner, these techniques can significantly improve audit quality, reduce subjectivity in auditor judgment, and contribute to the formulation of more reliable and objective audit opinions.
