Who needs sampling when you've got a crystal ball? I bet the head of commercial lending is already packing their bags.

A) Variables sampling? Really? I guess the auditor's feeling adventurous, or maybe they just really love statistics.

I'll have to go with D) Discovery sampling. The auditor's looking to uncover hidden issues, so this technique might help them stumble upon the goods, so to speak.

I believe dollar-unit sampling could also be effective in this situation, as it focuses on high-value transactions.

B) Dollar-unit sampling? That's a bold choice. I wonder if the auditor is planning to follow the money trail and uncover any suspicious loan amounts.

Hmm, I'm guessing C) Judgmental sampling is the way to go here. The auditor is specifically looking for any potential foul play, so they'll need to use their professional judgment to target the areas of highest risk.

Discovery sampling could be useful if the auditor wants to uncover any unexpected findings that may not be apparent through other methods.

I think dollar-unit sampling might be too focused on monetary values, rather than the actual risk of granting loans without collateral.

But wouldn't variables sampling also be effective in this situation? It could help quantify the extent of the issue.
