    Hello dear tutor

    I hope that you are well

    This is part of ACCA’s article:
    “In summary if a CONFIRMED material uncertainty exists it must be disclosed in accordance with ISA 570 and where there is a ‘CLOSE ALL’ over going concern which has been determined by the auditor to a KAM it will be disclosed in line with ISA 701.”

    Q1:how should we conclude that a matter is a confirmed material uncertainty or a close all over going concern(doubt over GC)?is it a matter of auditor judgement?
    I mean how should we determine a sign of GC such as loss of one of 3 main customers is a confirmed material uncertainty or significant doubt over GC?(should we consider its effect with other signs and conclude ie for example there is a confirmed material uncertainty over GC if we loss a key customer and cash problem and loss of key employee at the same time BUT there is a significant doubt over GC if we loss a key customer)

    Q2:when there is a significant doubt over GC, what is the type of report?is it correct to say:
    we should use UNQUALIFIED OPINION include KAM(no need to EOM)?

    Thank you in advance

    “CLOSE ALL” – I thought this was just a miss-print but you’ve used it twice so I’ve decided that you’ve got the wrong name for it

    The expression is Close Call

    “is it a matter of auditor judgement?” – it certainly is

    It CAN be an unqualified opinion even with a close call situation and a separate Close Call mention

    Thank you…
    It was my mistake(close call was the correct word as you said)

    But i donnot understand this sentence:
    “It CAN be an unqualified opinion even with a close call situation and a separate Close Call mention”

    I am really sorry…
    Please explain more if it is possible

    Thank you in advance

    A close call does not always lead to a qualified opinion

    Is that enough?
