Event Details
Audit sampling is used to provide factual evidence and a reasonable basis to draw conclusions about a population from which a sample is selected. The internal auditor should design and select an audit sample, perform audit procedures, and evaluate sample results to obtain sufficient, reliable, relevant, and useful audit evidence to achieve the engagement's objectives.

Reliable, in that the information is the best attainable information through the use of appropriate engagement techniques.
