A new Auditor's Report is here.
Auditors’ reports are the ultimate communication between auditor and the public. The auditor's report is a written letter from the auditor containing the opinion of whether an entity’s financial statements comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The independent and external audit report is typically published with the company's annual report. This course will discuss the considerations surrounding the objectives and form of the auditor’s report under SAS No. 134, Auditor Reporting and Amendments, Including Amendments Addressing Disclosures in the Audit of Financial Statements.
SAS No. 134 contains many changes to the 700 section of Professional Standards. SAS No. 134 benefits users of the financial statements by placing the auditor's opinion at the front of the report for added visibility and providing necessary transparency into the basis for the auditor's opinion and the responsibilities of both entity management and auditors. This module will address those changes as applied to AU-C section 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements, the foundational section that addresses the auditor’s responsibility to form an opinion on the financial statements and prescribes the form and content of the auditor’s report when issuing an unmodified “clean” opinion."
