Hello Mike.
good day. i just wanna know what type of reporting is required in forensic audit.May 31, 2016 at 8:47 am #318313Whatever is agreed in the engagement letter!
May 31, 2016 at 10:30 am #318338i mean it just like audit report or like review engagement report. in which negative wording is used like “Nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that financial statements do not give true or fair view”
May 31, 2016 at 10:42 am #318343It’s possibly even more like “agreed upon procedures” so no assurance given
It all depends on the terms of the engagement but, whatever the terms, if you’re not doing a full audit, there’s no way you’re going to give positive assurance
The best you could manage would be negative assurance “Nothing has come …”
OK?
May 31, 2016 at 10:55 am #318352thankyou so much Mike… soooooooooo much
May 31, 2016 at 11:38 am #318377You’re welcome
June 30, 2016 at 9:36 am #324450May I be wrong but there is no lecture or notes about forensic audit, sir?
June 30, 2016 at 11:09 am #324458No, Binh, you are correct. The topic came up once as a question in its own right and followed an article in Student Newsletter about forensic audits and forensic reporting
It may have come up since (I honestly cannot remember) but only as a part question and that’s likely how it will re-appear … as a part question … if at all
June 30, 2016 at 12:50 pm #324467If I can clearly remember it was in the June 16 exam. Q2.
June 30, 2016 at 4:31 pm #324488Thanks for that information Sam – I was not aware
Binh, apparently it came up in June (if Sam’s memory serves him correctly) so it’s unlikely to appear again in 2016
OK?
June 30, 2016 at 5:16 pm #324492Sorry I meant Q3.
The March/June paper which is out, Q1 Q2 and Q4 were from the June paper.
June 30, 2016 at 8:06 pm #324495Thanks again for that
July 2, 2016 at 5:00 am #324561I also hope so! Thank you so much, Mr.Mike
July 2, 2016 at 6:49 am #324565You’re welcome
