Sequential Audit Sampling for Finite Populations with Exact and Simulation-based Guarantee
有限总体的序贯审计抽样:精确保证与模拟保证
Financial statement auditors use a risk-based approach to evidence collection to obtain reasonable assurance. When an initial sample does not support a conclusion, they may inspect additional items. We develop a sampling procedure by formulating this additional inspection as sequential hypothesis testing for a fixed finite population sampled without replacement. A tolerable deviation rate and a margin below that rate define the composite hypotheses and the intervening…
