Overview:
For all the work performed on the audit, the one thing that the public sees is the auditor's report. So we need to make sure that the opinion is correct. With the effective date of SAS 134, the auditor's report underwent significant changes. This session will cover the format of the revised auditor's report and discuss the responsibilities of both management and the auditors which are now explicitly identified in the revised report. The session will also cover other conforming changes made to the auditor's report with the effective date of SAS 137-140. Lastly, the session will address both when, and how, the auditor would issue qualified and adverse opinions and when the auditor would disclaim an opinion. The session will also address when the auditor is required to add either an Emphasis of Matter or Other Matter paragraph and its contents. (Please Note: This module is part of Surgent's Audit Skills Training: Level 4.)Objectives:
