This is because sampling risk results from using only a fraction of the clients records book, which might fail to give real representation (Whittington & Pany, 2015).

• Larger variance in the dollar value of accounts

1. sampling techniques for tests of controls

• Attribute sampling

1. Tolerable misstatement

• Tolerable misstatement is directly related to materiality

Tolerable misstatements looks at the percentage of misstatements that can allowed to exist for the audit to be deemed effective

1. tests of controls performance

• Where the expected rate of deviation exceeds tolerable deviation rate.

This is because test of control is used look at the effectiveness of the client’s entity controls to prevent or detect material misstatement.
