Best Answer

Absolute Assurance is the highest level of assurance an auditor can give, if s/he checks each and every transaction. Therefore, absolute assurance is the level of assurance that can only be given if the auditor does not perform sampling testing. However, because of the time and costs involved, it is not feasible for an auditor to give 100% level of assurance. With much fewer costs and time involved, s/he will be able to provide around 60% level of assurance by providing what is called Reasonable Assurance.

Which do people prefer economy or quality?

I can say with absolute assurance ... yes. I do not have a unifying theory about WHY some people prefer economy or quality, nor have I thought about or have an opinion about whether the choice of economy or quality would apply to ALL the choices a person makes, or whether these choices fall into "groups" of related choices. But I can say with ABSOLUTE assurance ... some people will choose economy, some will choose quality. Personally, I prefer quality, but I'm not everyone. (smile)
