incorrect acceptance
Definition
One of the types of sampling risk that must be considered by auditors when choosing a sample size for a control audit. Incorrect acceptance means that the auditor may mistakenly judge a particular type of mistake as unlikely to happen, when it may be likely to happen, due to choosing too small a sample size for the audit.
