I remember discussing how nonstatistical sampling relies heavily on the auditor's judgment, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main advantage.

I think the key here is understanding the differences between the two sampling methods. Nonstatistical sampling relies more on the auditor's judgment, which can be beneficial in certain contexts where statistical methods may not be the best fit.

Ah, I see. The advantage of nonstatistical sampling is that it allows the auditor to use their professional judgment to determine the sample size and selection. This can be helpful when rigid statistical methods may not be practical or necessary for the audit.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Isn't using subjective judgment kind of risky? I mean, what if I just pick a sample size that's way too small and miss something important? Maybe statistical sampling is the safer bet.
