Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to scientifically grounded choice of the most appropriate approach for implementation of the audit sample for tests of controls. The practical significance of the study is represented by considering the nature and application of the tests of controls and by analyzing the selection of items for testing. Special attention is paid to various statistical distributions and formulas that are available in the scientific literature and used by Bulgarian auditors in applying audit sampling. They are compared with the basic settings in the International Auditing Standards. Thus, an approach for applying audit sampling for tests of controls is offered. Practical guidelines on the determination of sample size and results evaluation aregiven, using functions in Excel and tables developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. They should be implemented by the auditors to form correct conclusions on the financial information based on the audit standards.
