2. Define the population. (Define the period covered by the test; define the completeness of the population.)
3. Define the sampling unit (e.g., client copies of sales invoices).
Required:
What are the remaining steps in the preceding outline that Jiblum should include in the test of sales invoices? Do not present a detailed analysis of tasks that must be performed to carry out the objectives of each step. Parenthetical examples need not be provided.
