The objective is to present an improved statistical analysis method for dollar unit sampling in financial contexts.
Developed a new method based on a three-moment representation of the sampling distribution.
Conducted 236 simulation studies to evaluate performance across various error rates and tainting patterns.
Assessed the method's upper confidence bound compared to existing multinomial methods.
The new method resulted in higher acceptance rates for accounts receivable populations at materiality limits below four percent.
It outperformed existing methods in managing both overstatement and understatement errors within inventory populations.

Dworin et al. (1984) studied this question.
