Answer #1

Sampling and Non-sampling Risk, both are aspect of Audit risk, that arise when an auditor perform audit on company's books. In case of sampling risk, auditor select few samples to perform audit, hence his opinion is restricted to the sample, therefore there are chances of misstatement due to nonperforming on 100% data, this is called sampling risk.

Non-sampling risk is the failure of an auditor to catch a mistake or a misstatement. This may be caused by either misinterpreting the evidence or misapplying procedures that are inappropriate.

Sampling and Non-sampling Risk's are the two sides of a coin. There are multiple methods of sampling such as Random selection, systematic selection, monetary unit sampling etc. To control the sampling risk, Systematic selection is an appropriate method.
