Who forms the final audit opinion based on the evidence obtained from the audit procedures ? Who has the final authority and responsibility for this? Is that engagement partner ?
There is one true/false ques in kaplan kit ..”the audit partner will review all working papers on the audit file before issuing an audit opinion” and the answer is false. Why so ?
Yes it is the engagement partner. He will not have to review ALL documentation – the senior reviews the juniors’ work, the manager reviews the seniors’ … the partner will review “points for attention of partner” left by the manager and other key audit documentation – but by no means “all”.
