A Multi-Objective Mathematical Programming Model for Audit Samples of Balances for Accounts Receivable

This paper will detail the development of a multi-objective mathematical programming model for audit sampling of balances for accounts receivable. The nonlinear nature of the model structure will require the use of a nonlinear solution algorithm, such as the GRG or the genetic algorithm embedded in a Solver spreadsheet modeling system, to obtain appropriate results.
