Overview of the Financial Statement Audit Process LO#

Fundamental Concepts in Conducting a Financial Statement Audit LO# 6 Audit Risk Materiality Evidence 1-11

Materiality Materiality is the magnitude of an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would have been changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. LO#

Audit Risk Audit risk is the risk that the auditor may unknowingly fail to appropriately modify his or her opinion on financial statements that are materially misstated. The auditor’s standard report states that the audit provides only reasonable assurance that the financial statements do not contain material misstatements. Reasonable assurance implies some risk that a material misstatement could be present in the financial statements and the auditor will fail to detect it. LO#

Evidence Regarding Management Assertions Relevance – Is the information related to the specific assertion being tested? Reliability – Can the information be relied upon to signal the true state of the specific assertion being tested? Evidence that assists the auditor in evaluating management’s financial statement assertions consists of the underlying accounting data and any additional information available to the auditor, whether originating from the client or externally. LO#

Sampling: Inferences Based on Limited Observations Auditors use (1) their knowledge about the transactions and/or (2) a sampling approach to examine the transactions. It would be too costly for the auditor to examine every transaction. LO#

Major Phases of the Audit LO# 8 Client acceptance/continuance Preliminary engagement activities Plan the audit Consider and audit internal control Audit business processes and related account (e.g. revenue generation) Complete the audit Evaluate results and issue audit report 1-16

Issue the Audit Report LO# 9 The title line of the audit report includes the word “Independent,” and usually, the report is addressed to the stockholders of the company. The audit report includes an introductory paragraph, a scope paragraph, an opinion paragraph, an explanatory paragraph referring to the audit of internal control, the name of the auditor or audit firm, and the date of the audit report. AdverseQualifiedUnqualified 1-17

Issue the Audit Report LO# 9 The auditor may issue an unqualified/unmodified opinion. The auditor’s report (audit opinion) is the main product or output of the audit. The standard unqualified (clean) audit report is the most common type of report issued. In this context, unqualified means that because the financial statements are free of material misstatements, the auditor does not find it necessary to qualify his or her opinion about the fairness of the financial statements. 1-18

Issue the Audit Report LO# 9 The auditor may issue a qualified opinion. Suppose a client’s financial statements contain a misstatement that the auditor considers material and the client refuses to correct the misstatement. The auditor will likely qualify the report, explaining that the financial statements are fairly stated except for the misstatement identified by the auditor. 1-19

Issue the Audit Report LO# 9 The auditor may issue an adverse opinion. Suppose a client’s financial statements contain a misstatement that the auditor considers so material that it pervasively affects the interpretation of the financial statements. Given such a situation, the auditor will issue an adverse opinion, indicating that the financial statements are not fairly stated and should not be relied upon. 1-20
