Discussion on Annual Control Report and Opinion 31/12/2009
• Various Member States’ opinion: Since no expenditure was declared till 2008 and no audits on operations were done by mid-2009, a DISCLAIMER OF OPINION has to be provided (reference was made to ISA)
• CION’s opinion: Where limited systems audits have been performed, the AA has to provide an opinion, possibly with a SCOPE LIMITATION ….
….. A PRESENTATION LATER ON TODAY

Sampling and small populations – Sampling and small populations – Dutch experienceDutch experience
Example on non-statistical sampling
• First, audit all large items (i.e. greater than materiality)
• Then, calculate sample size for other items based on results of systems audits

Discussion (General)
• Definition of error: not in Regulations – CION classifies between serious quantifiable errors having financial impact etc.
• Disadvantages of MUS: assumes low error rate
• If there are problems in systems audits, effort should be made to tackle these (impact on audits on operations)
• There are no miracle solutions for small programmes…. we have to be
prepared to do more work compared to large programmes.
