9 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 9 Learning Objective 4 Describe the five circumstances when an unqualified report with an explanatory paragraph or modified wording is appropriate.

12 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 12 Auditor Agrees with a Departure from a Promulgated Principle The auditor must be satisfied and must state and explain, in a separate paragraph or paragraphs in the audit report, that adhering to the principle would have produced a misleading result in that situation.

13 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 13 Emphasis of a Matter Under certain circumstances, the CPA may want to emphasize specific matters regarding the financial statements, even though the CPA intends to express an unqualified opinion.

17 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 17 Qualified Opinion A qualified opinion report can result from a limitation on the scope of the audit or failure to follow generally accepted accounting principles.

18 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 18 Adverse Opinion It is used only when the auditor believes that the overall financial statements are so materially misstated or misleading that they do not present fairly the financial position or results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

19 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 19 Disclaimer of Opinion It is issued when the auditor is unable to be satisfied that the overall financial statements are fairly presented.

20 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 20 Learning Objective 6 Explain how materiality affects audit reporting decisions.

21 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 21 Materiality A misstatement in the financial statements can be considered material if knowledge of the misstatement would affect a decision of a reasonable user of the statements.

22 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 22 Levels of Materiality Amounts are immaterial. Amounts are material but do not overshadow the financial statements as a whole. Amounts are so material or so pervasive that overall fairness of the statements is in question.

23 ©2008 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 3 - 23 Relationship of Materiality to Type of Opinion Materiality Level Significance in Terms of Reasonable Users’ Decisions Type of Opinion Users’ decisions are unlikely to be affected.
