    Question – You are the audit senior assigned to the audit of Hemsworth Co for the year ended 31 August 
    20X5. You are ready to commence the audit of payables. The following procedures are listed in 
    the audit plan: 
    Procedure —  Selection method 
    1 For 20 invoices listed in the payables ledger trace the amount recorded to the purchase invoice —  Start at a random point and test every $100th 
    There is 2 questions which are contradicting , which are as follows:
    Question 1)
    Identify whether the selection methods described represent sampling. 
     Sampling  Not sampling 
    1. (As per answer it is sampling and states that Procedure 1 describes monetary unit selection (MUS) which is a sampling method given in 
    ISA 530 Audit Sampling., I agree that this is a sampling method which is systematic “Interval” selection.
    Ques – 2) In respect of procedure 1, if the method stated to test every 100th item, which method 
    would be described? 
    ? Monetary unit selection 
    ? Random selection 
    ? Systematic selection 
    ? Block selection 
    Answer is Systematic selection
    My question is in 1st why in answer it is then written that it is MUS ? because as per my understanding as well it is systematic selection only ?
    Can you please explain?

    Thanks in advance !

    See in our notes – page 66 – in systematic sampling the interval is a number of items – in MUS (top of page 67) the interval is a number of $s.

    Yes MUS is a form of interval sampling but to describe the interval in terms of $ is what distinguishes MUS from systematic selection.
