Audit sampling plays a critical role in obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, yet it remains an area where regulators frequently identify deficiencies. These issues often arise from inconsistent application of sampling methods, weak documentation, or a lack of understanding of how sampling should be implemented during audit testing.
This course provides a clear and practical introduction to audit sampling. Participants will learn the fundamental sampling methods used in audits, how to apply sampling during substantive testing, and how to document sampling decisions correctly in audit working papers. The course also highlights common errors encountered in practice and explains how to avoid them.
Designed for auditors and audit trainees, this training establishes a solid foundation that supports sound professional judgment and higher-quality audit work.
Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a verifiable LEAF Blue CPD Certificate, confirming their participation and professional development.
