1. The standard unqualified audit report has seven sequential parts
and each parts has its own unique objectives
Identify three major paragraphs and explain their purpose
ANSEWR
1.Report Title
The appropriate title would be “Independent auditor’s report,
or Report of independent auditors.” The requirement that the title
include the word “independent” is intended to convey to users that
the audit was unbiased in all aspects of the engagement.
2.Address
The report is usually addressed to the company, its stockholders or
the board of directors or combinations of these.
3.Introductory paragraph
A.It makes the simple statement that the audit firm has done an
audit. This is intended to distinguish the report from a compilation
or review report.
3
B. It lists the financial statements that were audited, including the
balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings and
cash flow statements.
C. The introductory paragraph states that the statements are the
responsibility of management and that the auditor’s responsibility is
to express an opinion on the financial statements based on an audit.
4.Scope paragraph
The scope paragraph describes what the auditor has performed
during the audit. Specifically, it states
Whether the audit was conducted in accordance with (GAAS).
It also states the GAAS requirement that an audit was planned to
provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.
The inclusion of the word “material” conveys that auditors are
responsible only to search for significant misstatements; not minor
errors that do not affect users’ decisions.
The use of the term “reasonable assurance” is intended to indicate
that an audit provides a high level of assurance, but it is not a
guarantee.
The scope paragraph also discusses the audit evidence accumulated
and states that the auditor believes the evidence accumulated was
appropriate for the circumstances to express the opinion presented.
The word test-basis indicates that sampling was used rather than an
audit of every transaction and amount on the statements.
4
5.Opinion Paragraph
This paragraph contains the auditor’s opinion on whether the
financial statements are in conformity with GAAP.
It describes the auditor’s findings. These findings are expressed
in terms of whether the financial statements are presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The audit report must contain either an expression of opinion
or an assertion to the effect that an opinion can not be rendered
and the reasons for this.
6. Name of the audit firm and signature:
The name and the signature identify the audit firm or
practitioner that has performed the audit. Typically, the firm’s
name is used, since the entire audit firm has the legal and
professional responsibility to make certain the quality of the
audit meets professional standards.
