Answer
1.D
解析：Increasing the number of items selected for detailed testing will impact on sampling risk but will have no effect on non-sampling risk.
The other three choices will have the effect of reducing non-sampling risk.
2.D
3.ABCD
解析：The opinion of the lawyers will be persuasive with regard to whether a transfer of economic benefit is likely. As the matter is judgemental, it is appropriate to seek written management representations. Compensation is often calculated as a % or multiple of salary, so previous payroll details are relevant in verifying the amount of the provision, as will be the statutory maximum level of compensation.
4.BD
解析：An assurance engagement is 'an engagement in which a practitioner expresses a conclusion designed to enhance the degree of confidence of the intended users other than the responsible party about the outcome of the evaluation or measurement of a subject matter against criteria'.
Compilation of financial information and tax and management consulting do not meet the definition of an assurance engagement.
5.B
解析：Ideally, the internal audit department should report to the Audit Committee. If there is no Audit Committee they should report to the Board of Directors. They do not report to the external auditor as they are employees of the client and they should not report to the chief accountant as the majority of work they perform will be within his department. Reporting to the chief accountant would impair their independence.
