hi my question is related to using the work of a service organisation.
im quoting from the bpp notes “one factor that has an impact on the audit of an outsourced activity is that the user auditor has no direct contractual relationship with the service organisation and this may cause problems with access and confidentiality”chapter 16.
so my question is suppose if the service organisation refuses to corporate with the auditor and do not provide access to the auditor to acquire evidence or procedures. if the service organisations work has a huge impact on the audit, say it will be material to the FS.
can the auditor qualify the report on the basis of inability to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence?
even though its not the clients fault? and there is no contractual relationship with the service organisation and auditor?many thanks
