    Pls bit confused with these from BPP text

    ‘Note that an EoM paragraph is not used when the issue has been covered as a key audit matter (see
    Section 2 above). The auditor must choose whether a matter is simply a key audit matter, or whether it
    needs an EoM paragraph”

    ” If there is a Key Audit Matters
    section in the report, then it is up to the auditor’s judgement whether to place the EoM before this (ie
    straight after the Basis for Opinion) or after it.”

    Becasuse in the first paragraph is says that where KAM are put in the report it means EoM has no place in the report but the second paragraph it says its left to the auditors judgement either to put it before or after the Basis for Opinion this is provided there is KAM… pls help

    Where’s the confusion?

    If the matter is an EoM but it’s mentioned within KAM, then we don’t need an EoM paragraph

    If the matter is an EoM but is NOT included within KAM, then it has its own paragraph.

    Where to include that paragraph? Before or after the KAM section? Wherever you want … it can go before or after … it’s your call

    Is that any better?

    Maybe the struggle over whether to include an item as a provision or simply disclose it by way of note

    Will that do?
