This paper describes a simulation study of a nonparametric bound on the total error amount in an auditing population. The bound is a combination of a bootstrap approximation of the bound generated by Hoeffding's inequality and a modified nonparametric bootstrap-t method. For the 95 percent confidence level and size 120, the combined bound is reliable over a wide range of simulated study populations and is on average 13 percent smaller than the benchmark Stringer bound based…
