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 are given, 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.

In the physical sciences, it goes without saying that all practitioners use words in the same manner. A mere verbal dispute would be anathema in this arena of intellectual discourse. There is no dispute, , as to the means of words such as “gravity,” “mass,” “genus,” “species,” “oxygen,” “x-ray,” etc. Matters are not as salutary in the social sciences. The present paper is an attempt to place economics, the queen of the social sciences, on a par with physics, chemistry, biology, etc., or at least to make an attempt in this direction. Systematic knowledge, the sine qua non of science, requires good communication. But this, in turn, can only be achieved, if its necessary condition is attained: precise definitions. In the present paper, we discuss in this regard the microeconomic concepts of entrepreneurship, monopoly, derps, indifference, development and rent seeking.
