(450) Differentiate between “undetected” and “uncorrected” misstatements. (2 pts) PR105: AUDITING & ASSURANCE PRINCIPLES https://blog.ipleaders.in Instructor ROBERT REGALA CH13 AUDIT COMPLETION & REPORTING PSAs: 450, 560, 570, 580, 700, 701, 705, & 706 Chapter Review Discussion Undetected misstatements are misstatements that the auditor has not uncovered because of the presence of sampling risk and non-sampling risk. Uncorrected misstatements are misstatements that the auditor has identified and communicated to management in order for management to (a) understand the cause of the identified misstatements, (b) perform procedures to determine the amount of the actual misstatement in the class of transactions, account balance or disclosure, and to (c) make appropriate adjustments to the financial statements.

(450) Prior to evaluating the effect of uncorrected misstatements, what does the PSA require the auditor to do? (2 pts) PR105: AUDITING & ASSURANCE PRINCIPLES https://blog.ipleaders.in CH13 AUDIT COMPLETION & REPORTING PSAs: 450, 560, 570, 580, 700, 701, 705, & 706 Chapter Review Discussion The auditor’s determination of materiality in accordance with PSA 320 is often based on estimates of the entity’s financial results, because the actual financial results may not yet be known. Therefore, prior to the auditor’s evaluation of the effect of uncorrected misstatements, it may be necessary to revise materiality determined in accordance with PSA 320 based on the actual financial results. Instructor ROBERT REGALA PSA 320 explains that, as the audit progresses, materiality for the financial statements as a whole (and, if applicable, the materiality level or levels for particular classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures) is revised in the event of the auditor becoming aware of information during the audit that would have caused the auditor to have determined a different amount (or amounts) initially. Thus, any significant revision is likely to have been made before the auditor evaluates the effect of uncorrected misstatements. However, if the auditor’s reassessment of materiality determined in accordance with PSA 320 (paragraph 10) gives rise to a lower amount (or amounts), then performance materiality and the appropriateness of the nature, timing and extent of the further audit procedures are reconsidered so as to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the audit opinion.

(b) Inquiring of management and, where appropriate, TCwG, as to whether any subsequent events have occurred which might affect the financial statements. (Ref: Para. A9) (c) Reading minutes, if any, of the meetings, of the entity’s owners, management and TCwG, that have been held after the date of the financial statements and inquiring about matters discussed at any such meetings for which minutes are not yet available. (Ref: Para. A10) (d) Reading the entity’s latest subsequent interim FS, if any.

If, despite such notification, management or those charged with governance do not take these necessary steps, the auditor shall take appropriate action to seek to prevent reliance on the auditor’s report.

These responsibilities exist even if the financial reporting framework used in the preparation of the financial statements does not include an explicit requirement for management to make a specific assessment of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Instructor ROBERT REGALA If management’s assessment of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern covers less than twelve months from the date of the financial statements as defined in PSA 560, the auditor shall request management to extend its assessment period to at least twelve months from that date.

Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements b. Information Provided to the Auditor c. Description of Management’s Responsibilities in the Written Representations d.

The possible effects on the financial statements of such inability are not confined to specific elements, accounts or items of the financial statements and are hence pervasive.

If the auditor (a) concludes that, based on the audit evidence obtained, the financial statements as a whole are not free from material misstatement; OR (b) is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, the auditor shall modify the opinion in the auditor’s report in accordance with PSA 705.

Qualified Opinion = misstatements are material, but not pervasive to the FS, OR the auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, but the auditor concludes that the possible effects undetected misstatements could be material but not pervasive. 2. Adverse Opinion = misstatements are both material and pervasive to the financial statements. 3. Disclaimer of Opinion = auditor is unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on which to base the opinion, and the auditor concludes that the possible effects on the financial statements of undetected misstatements, if any, could be both material and pervasive. (The auditor shall also disclaim an opinion when, in extremely rare circumstances involving multiple uncertainties, the auditor concludes that, notwithstanding having obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding each of the individual uncertainties, it is not possible to form an opinion on the financial statements due to the potential interaction of the uncertainties and their possible cumulative effect on the financial statements.)

Key audit matters are selected from matters communicated with those charged with governance. In determining what the KAM are, the auditor shall take into account the following: (a) Areas of higher assessed RMM, or significant risks identified (b) Significant auditor judgments relating to areas in the financial statements that involved significant management judgment, including accounting estimates that have been identified as having high estimation uncertainty. (c) The effect on the audit of significant events or transactions that occurred during the period.
