Using MUS sampling Describe MUS sampling and identify the conditions that would cause an auditor choose to use MUS sampling


MUS sampling is an adaptation of attribute sampling methods to dollar value testing. It was developed specifically for use in auditing. MUS sampling is most effective when testing for overstatements in situations when few misstatements are expected. Individual book values must be available for testing. The population for MUS sampling is defined as the number of dollars in the account balance being tested. Each dollar in the population has an equal chance of being chosen, but each dollar is associated with a particular item such as an inventory item.
