Definition/advantages/disadvantages of Monetary-Unit Sampling (MUS).
Monetary unit sampling is statistical sampling developed specifically for use by auditors.
Advantages of Monetary Unit Sampling:
(1) Does not require the user to make assumptions about the
distribution
(2) Results in a smaller sampling size than classical variable
sampling - for a low error rate population
(3) Can be applied to a group of accounts because of automatic
stratification
Disadvantages of Monetary Unit Sampling:
(1) Cannot evaluate unrecorded or zero balance items
(2) Inability to include negative balances
(3) Evaluates overstatement and understatement separately
