Compares Bayesian and non-Bayesian sampling bounds for accounting overstatement errors, indicating Bayesian models may offer better performance.

To validate Bayesian dollar-unit sampling bounds and compare their performance to non-Bayesian bounds.
Analyzed Bayesian models using diffuse priors on typical tainting patterns.
Compared performance of Bayesian and non-Bayesian dollar-unit sampling bounds under audit conditions.
Some Bayesian models improved performance over non-Bayesian techniques.
Validation of Bayesian models showed robust outcomes even with diffuse priors.
