AUD — Quick Sheet

Audit Reports

Read time: ~5 minutes

One-minute revision

  • Misstatement: material → Qualified; material + pervasive → Adverse
  • Scope limitation: material → Qualified; material + pervasive → Disclaimer
  • Emphasis-of-matter = something IN the statements; Other-matter = something NOT in the statements
  • Neither EOM nor OM modifies the opinion
  • Issuers: CAMs + auditor tenure. Nonissuers: KAMs only if engaged to report them

COMMON TRAP: Adverse comes from misstatements; disclaimer comes from scope limitations. Don't cross the wires.
