Advantages of MUS
1. When the auditor expects no misstatement, MUS
usually results in a smaller sample size than classical
variables sampling.
2. The calculation of the sample size and evaluation of
the sample results are not based on the variation
between items in the population.
3. When applied using the probability-proportional-to-size
procedure, MUS automatically results in a stratified
sample.

Disadvantages of MUS
1. The selection of zero or negative balances generally
requires special design consideration.
2. The general approach to MUS assumes that the
audited amount of the sample item is not in error by
more than 100%.
3. When more than one or two misstatements are
detected, the sample results calculations may
overstate the allowance for sampling risk.

Advantages
1. When the auditor expects a large number of
differences between book and audited values, this
method will result in smaller sample size than
MUS.
2. The techniques are effective for both
overstatements and understatements.
3. The selection of zero balances generally does not
require special sample design considerations.

Disadvantages
1. To determine sample size, the auditor must
estimate the standard deviation of the audited
value or differences.
2. If few misstatements are detected in the sample
data, the true variance tends to be
underestimated, and the resulting projection of the
misstatements to the population is likely not to be
reliable.
