Sampling Techniques
Sampling techniques in accounting refer to the methods used to select a subset of data, transactions, or inventory for the purpose of drawing conclusions about the entire data set. These techniques enable auditors and accountants to efficiently assess the accuracy of financial records and compliance with applicable standards by examining representative examples rather than conducting a full review.
