standards / GAAS. And there must be uniformity of reports to avoid confusion.

statements are included in the financial statements.

that the audit is designed to be able to obtain assurance that the financial statements are
free from material misstatement. The report must contain the words "on the basis of
testing", which means that what is done is a sampling and not an audit of every
transaction and every amount in the financial statements, depending on the
implementation of the audit in the field.

presented fairly or are not in accordance with GAAP and contain material misstatements.

convince himself, due to the auditor's lack of knowledge, that the entire financial report is
presented fairly. This refusal arose because of scope limitations (condition 1) and because
the auditors were not independent (condition 3).

presented fairly, but because there are scope limitations (condition 1) or the generally
accepted accounting standards are not adhered to, there are exceptions to the scope and
opinion (condition 1). ) or only on opinion (condition 2)
