Explanation:
You haven't given the background, but I assume these are some kind of accounting documents. A sample-based audit is one in which a representative sample of documents is audited.

sample-based audit


Explanation:
You haven't given the background, but I assume these are some kind of accounting documents. A sample-based audit is one in which a representative sample of documents is audited.

Example sentence(s):
