2 114 Revised explanation for answer to Review Question 2.
The correct answer is A., as given. Replace the text of the explanation with the following:
"The compliance test uses precision to describe the expected error rate of the sample compared to total population. Precision is usually expressed as a percentage. Depending on the consequence of error, higher rates above 5% may indicate the auditor needs to increase sampling and test more evidence."

5 319 Format error and missing explanation for answer to Review Question 8.
Explanation for Answer to Review Question 8.:
"Referential intergrity means a valid link exists between data in different tables. When you follow the link from one table for 'first_name' it matches the data we expect to find in the next table like 'Samantha' rather than '1109 Mian Ave'. An error indicates a lack of integrity."

The answer and explanation for 9. should appear on a separate line.
