When performing a substantive sampling technique, the engagement team considers the following questions:
1. Is the MUS sample planned for the performance of other than a substantive audit procedure? Yes No Unanswered
2. Is substantive sampling planned for use in a financial statement audit that requires confidence levels
different from those stated in the KPMG Audit Manual? (e.g., audits of federal agencies may require the use of

3. Is MUS planned for use in selecting items for a complex population, such as a population involving multiple Yes No Unanswered
locations?
4. Are substantive sampling techniques planned other than those outlined in the KPMG Audit Manual? Yes No Unanswered
5. Does the engagement team need specific tolerable deviation rates, expected error rates, and/ or confidence
levels to be achieved with an attribute sample? Yes No Unanswered
6. Is a substantive sample planned for use in selecting items as a basis for a statistical conclusion expressed Yes No Unanswered
in a special report, for an attestation engagement other than a financial statement audit or for performing and
reporting on an agreed-upon procedures engagement?
7. Does the expected difference in the population to be sampled exceed the engagement SMT? Yes No Unanswered
The engagement team documents and includes the relevant working paper describing the nature and results of the consultation following guidance outlined in
KAM section . In addition, the engagement team documents the subject matter, the name of the KPMG sampling specialist consulted, and the reference to the
working papers where the details of the consultations have been documented.

Conclusion text Circumstances #
The test objective is achieved. MLAD = 0 1
The test objective may have been achieved. The following factors relative to the errors discovered may need consideration prior to 0 < MLAD < EE 2
concluding on the test objective:
WARNING! The test objective is not yet achieved as the most likely audit difference of NaN is more than the expected difference. EE <= MLAD < SMT/2 4
WARNING! The test objective is not achieved as the most likely audit difference of NaN is equal to or more than 50% of SMT. MLAD >= SMT/2 5
The guidance below will help you determine whether the test objective can be achieved by management recording an appropriate EE <= MLAD < SMT/2 8
adjustment, or whether the sample needs to be extended or additional substantive procedures performed.
#DIV/0! 0 < MLAD <= SMT/2, RoSM = H 9
Consider the sample results, the nature and cause of the identified audit differences, and their possible effect on the particular audit 0 < MLAD <= SMT/2, RoSM <> H 10
objective and on other areas of the audit. Consider whether the audit differences identified indicate:
- the existence of fraud (i.e. were the audit differences intentional?) or a failure in controls that may need to be investigated and 0 < MLAD <= SMT/2, RoSM <> H 10
reported to management and/or those charged with governance;
- whether the errors are systematic;
#DIV/0! 0 < MLAD <= SMT/2, RoSM <> H 10
You may extend the sample by increasing the expected audit difference. Alternatively, perform other substantive procedures to EE <= MLAD < SMT/2 and RoSM 11a
obtain audit evidence on the same audit objectives. =H
You may extend the sample by increasing the RoSM assessment and/or the expected audit difference. Alternatively, perform other EE <= MLAD < SMT/2 and RoSM 11b
substantive procedures to obtain audit evidence on the same audit objectives. <> H
#DIV/0! MLAD >= ADPT 13
#DIV/0! ED <= MLAD < SMT/2 14
Revise planned substantive audit procedures accordingly. Sampling may not be appropriate. You may need to test the entire MLAD >= SMT/2 15
population or request that management investigate the audit differences in order to determine an appropriate adjustment to the
financial statements.
If management performs an analysis to investigate the audit differences and the remainder of the population, and determines an MLAD >= ADPT 16
adjustment to the financial statements, obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence with respect to the adequacy of the adjustment
determined by management.
Based on the audit evidence obtained with respect to the adequacy of the adjustment determined by management, evaluate whether MLAD >= ADPT 17
management's adjustment is a more precise estimate of the total audit difference in the population than the most likely audit
difference from the test result (i.e., management's investigation is more extensive than our test). If so, document your evaluation in
the working papers, your conclusion that the test objective is achieved and that there is no further error to post to Schedule 1 of the
Summary of Audit Differences. We post the adjustment made by management as a result of our test work to Schedule 2 of the
Summary of Audit Differences.
If not, post any uncorrected element of the most likely audit difference to Schedule 1 of the Summary of Audit Differences for further MLAD >= ADPT 18
consideration.
We differentiate overstated most likely audit differences from understated most likely audit differences. The KPMG Sampling Plan is Understatements found 19
not effective in detecting unrecorded or understated audit differences; therefore it may not be appropriate to aggregate the most likely
understatement audit difference with the most likely overstatement audit difference.
We consider the nature of the understatements. Planned audit procedures, particularly audit procedures to address completeness of
transactions, may need to be extended.
After evaluating the nature and cause of both the overstatements and understatements found, we consider whether it is appropriate
to aggregate the overstatement most likely audit difference with the understatement most likely audit difference.

2: Enter the determined amount over which items are individually significant, and hence are to be examined 100%.
It is usually efficient to examine separately the items over a given monetary amount. We refer to these items as individually significant items.
We may use any amount that is less than or equal to the significant misstatement threshold as the monetary cut-off for this purpose. The most efficient amount to use (i.e., resulting in
the lowest number of items to be examined) is the significant misstatement threshold divided by the sample size factor.
3: Book value of the total population the conclusion is intended to include. The precise definition of the population is important because a conclusion
based on a sample cannot be extended beyond the population to which the sample relates.
4: We regard the unexamined sample items (items chosen to test that we could not examine because they were not located) as audit differences.
When sampling, all items selected for testing are supported in their entirety by sufficient appropriate audit evidence or else they are treated
as audit differences. [5688]
5: The most likely audit difference in sampled population = Total audit difference in sample items x
(Total of sampled population / Total of sample items)
The total audit difference in the sample items is a monetary amount.
The total of sampled population and the total of sample items may be either monetary amounts or numbers of units. The most likely audit difference shown is the greater of that
calculated by using the value of population/sample and number in population/sample.
6: The KPMG Sampling Plan suggests a sample size less than 5. Consider whether an appropriately designed and executed substantive analytical procedure would
provide sufficient appropriate audit evidence, or whether the remaining population is deemed insignificant and we may conclude, in conjunction with our tests of operating
effectiveness of controls, that sufficient appropriate audit evidence has been obtained. If neither of these options is appropriate, we use a sample size of 5 or more items.

Are there any exceptions that should not be projected to the relevant population? If yes, we document the additional audit procedures performed to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the exception does not affect the remainder of the population. [5694.10]
An anomalous audit difference is an extremely rare occurrence that arises from an isolated and non-recurring event and therefore is not representative of audit
differences in the population. If we determine that an audit difference is an anomaly (i.e., including the anomalous difference in the sample causes the sample to
be unrepresentative of the population), we:
• plan and perform audit procedures to obtain additional audit evidence that provides[5694.12]
a high degree of certainty that the audit difference does not affect
the remainder of the population,
• exclude the anomalous audit differences from the projection, and
• consider whether to increase test work on the remainder of the population
Conclusion [5430.43]

Remaining Population
We obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence relevant to the remaining population when that remaining population is considered
significant. We use judgment to determine whether the remaining population is considered significant. Our judgment may be based
on:
• the materiality of the remaining population
• our assessment of the risk of significant misstatement for the related audit objective
• our assessment of the risk of fraud for the related audit objective
• a combination of all of the above, and/or
• other considerations. [KAM 5425]

Section II – Evaluation and Interpretation of Results
When evaluating the results of the sample, we respond to each of the following questions:
1. Was the original number of sample items selected for testing increased (i.e., were additional sample items
selected for testing in order to reach the desired degree of precision)?
Note: Tests planned with zero error tolerance are not increased.
2. Does the engagement team believe that certain exceptions should not be projected to the relevant
population in determining a likely misstatement amount?
3. Do any of the testing exceptions represent an overstatement or understatement greater than 100 percent
of the book value of the sample item tested?
4. Does the most likely audit difference in the population being sampled, or the allowance for sampling risk,
exceed the engagement SMT?
5. Do any of the messages generated by the KPMG MUS Routine indicate that the engagement team has to
consult a KPMG sampling specialist?

The test objective is achieved.
Discuss and ask management to adjust the population for the total projected most likely audit
difference. Post any uncorrected element of the total projected most likely audit difference to
the Summary of Audit Differences for further consideration. We may ask management to
perform procedures to investigate the audit differences and the remainder of the population so
as to determine an appropriate adjustment to the financial statement.Obtain persuasive audit
evidence in respect of the adjustment determined by management.
Consider the nature and cause of the identified audit differences and whether they indicate the
possible existence of fraud or error. Also consider whether identified audit differences indicate
a failure in controls that may need to be investigated and reported to management and/or those
charged with governance.
WARNING!! As the total projected most likely audit difference is more than, or equal to,
SMT, consider if audit differences in significant items indicate that the initially assessed
RoSM is too low. If yes, amend the input for the RoSM to a higher level, set the level of
expected audit difference in population to more than one-third but less than SMT and re-
calculate the sample size. Select and test the additional sample items and re-evaluate the
results.
If the RoSM assessment is appropriate, discuss and ask management to adjust the population
for the total projected most likely audit difference. Post any uncorrected element of the total
projected most likely audit difference to the Summary of Audit Differences for further
consideration.
You may ask management to perform procedures to investigate the audit differences and the
remainder of the population so as to determine an appropriate adjustment to the financial
statement.Obtain persuasive audit evidence in respect of the adjustment determined by
management.
Consider the nature and cause of the identified audit differences and whether they indicate the
possible existence of fraud or
error. Also consider whether identified audit differences indicate a failure in controls that may
need to be investigated and

WARNING!! The test objective is not achieved.
If there are audit differences in sample items that are arising from isolated events, obtain
sufficient audit evidence that the audit differences need not be projected to the population and
include them as anomalous differences.
Projected most likely audit difference in sampled population is higher than anticipated. We
need to undertake further work. We:
- Consider whether this indicates that the initially assessed RoSM is too low. If yes, amend the
input for the RoSM to a higher level; and
- Amend the input for the expected difference to more than one-third but less than SMT and
re-calculate the sample size. Select and test the additional sample items and re-evaluate the
results.
OR alternatively,
- perform other substantive audit procedures on the population before concluding on the test.
You may ask management to perform procedures to investigate the audit differences and the
remainder of the population so as to determine an appropriate adjustment to the financial
statement.Obtain persuasive audit evidence in respect of the adjustment determined by
management.
Consider the nature and cause of the identified audit differences and whether they indicate the
possible existence of fraud or
error. Also consider whether identified audit differences indicate a failure in controls that may

If there are audit differences in sample items that are arising from isolated events, obtain
sufficient audit evidence that the audit differences need not be projected to the population and
include them as anomalous differences.
The audit differences discovered are not acceptable as the net projected most likely audit
difference in the sampled population is more than, or equal to, SMT.
Substantive sampling may not be appropriate to identify the rate of difference in the
population. You may need to test the entire population or ask management to perform
procedures to investigate the audit differences and the remainder of the population so as to
determine an appropriate adjustment to the financial statement. Obtain persuasive audit
evidence in respect of the adjustment determined by management.
