Do you need to have a basis of opinion paragragh for disagreement be it material or pervasive?
Yes! How else are you going to explain the reason for the qualification? You cannot simply issue an adverse opinion without explaining why!
Mr mike basis of opinion comes wen opinion is modified n EOMP comes wen opinion is unmodified. My ques is can they both co exist? Thnk u
“EOMP” – that’s a new one on me – and there’s a lesson for you! DNA in the exam!
Now, read you question to yourself and ask yourself “Does this make sense?”
I’ll give you a hint here – it certainly makes no sense to me!
It’s like saying “If I cut my right hand off, can I still shake hands with my right hand?”
By EOMP I mean emphasis of matter paragraph. Now can both basis of opinion para n eomp para come in one single report issued by auditor? Plz guide…. thnk u
Why yes, of course they can
But basis of opinion is not modified by an emphasis of matter paragraph! Be careful! The audit report is modified by an emphasis of matter paragraph but the basis of opinion isn’t and nor is the opinion paragraph itself
I once saw an audit report that had a material uncertainty (insufficiency of appropriate audit evidence) in the statement of profit or loss, a material misstatement in the statement of financial position and a clean opinion “in all other respects”
I previously supposed they cant co exist on the grounds…..Eomp para comes wen the opinion is unmodified(though report modified) n basis of opinion comes wen opinion is modified(again report modified). So how can there b 2 opinions i.e modified n unmodified in one single report?
We report our opinion on the state of affairs as at the accounting year end and on the published results and cash flows for the year then ended as well as on compliance with law and regulation. On top of that, there are also emphases of matter to be brought to readers’ attention
You could have disagreements, insufficiencies of appropriate audit evidence, emphases of matter, even other matters all within the one audit report
Is it Basis of Opinion paragraph or basis for Opinion paragraph?
I thought ‘of’ but answers in my kit say ‘for’ or does it not matter?
Thanks
JemmaNot sure that it makes any difference to be honest. It certainly isn’t going to gain nor lose you a mark
