hello Sir, Included in trade receivables, which total $580,000, is a debt amounting to $45,000 from a customer which went into liquidation on 15 June 20X1. You have ascertained from the liquidator that your client is unlikely to receive a distribution. The statement of comprehensive income for the year shows a pre-tax profit of $100,000 but the directors are not prepared to provide for this debt What will be the effect on audit opinion
The amount is material to profit, so if uncorrected is a material misstatement. I would think that a qualified (“except for”) opinion would be appropriate.
