Auditing Techniques

Non-Statistical Sampling
Non-statistical sampling or judgmental sampling is a method used in auditing where the samples are selected based on the auditor's judgment rather than random selection methods. This technique can be employed when statistical methods are impractical or when a quick assessment is needed.
Risk-Based Audit
An auditing technique focused on identifying and assessing the levels of risk in different areas of an organization's systems to concentrate efforts on the areas of highest risk, thereby improving the detection of errors or fraud.
