What percentage of a population do you try to use when sampling for an audit? I know it will vary somewhat but I feel like what we use is low but cannot find any useful information on industry standrds.

As soon as I posted this I thought of the OCCs Handbook. DUH! But I had just had a discussion with an OCC examiner about documenting statistical sampling, how we choose our samples, etc. and my mind wasn't functioning properly!! (And our examiners have left a week early!)
