Publisher's Synopsis
This manual and accompanying software constitute a learning support system for the study of statistical sampling in auditing. Typically, textbook coverage of this topic provides a mix of theoretical concepts and procedural applications. However, the diversity of sampling methods, coupled with severe time constraints, frequently dictate that certain techniques be given only a cursory overview. The purpose of IASS is to provide a method to cover sampling methods which otherwise would be introduced only briefly or might be omitted altogether. IASS also provides opportunity for students to obtain a greater understanding of statistical sampling methods by solving a variety of statistical sampling problems.
