	14	"2. How to calculate an appropriate sample size\n",
	15	"3. Three sampling methods: random, systematic, and stratified\n",

	27	"\n",
	28	"Population — the full set of records you're auditing (e.g., all 5,000 invoices processed this year).\n",
	29	"\n",
	30	"Sample — a subset of that population you actually test.\n",
	31	"\n",
	32	"Confidence level — how certain you want to be that your sample reflects the population. Audits typically use 90% or 95%.\n",
	33	"\n",
	34	"Tolerable error rate — the maximum rate of errors you'd accept before concluding a control has failed. Common values are 5% or 10%.\n",
	35	"\n",
	36	"The core tradeoff: a higher confidence level or lower tolerable error rate means you need a larger sample. The relationship isn't linear — going from 90% to 95% confidence increases your sample size more than you might expect.\n",
	37	"\n",
	38	"When to sample vs. test everything:\n",
	39	"- Sample when the population is large and testing everything isn't practical\n",
	40	"- Test everything (100%) when the population is small (e.g., only 10 journal entries), when the control only fires occasionally, or when the risk is very high"
