Question

State the appropriate audit opinion that the auditor would require.

As at the date of the Audit report, management was still in the process of correcting the system errors. As a result of these issues, the Auditors were unable to determine whether any adjustments are required in relation to the recorded or unrecorded inventories and accounts receivables, as well as the elements making up the Income statement and the Cash Flow statement.

Definition Definition Net amount of cash that an entity receives and expends over the course of a given period. For a business to continue operating, positive cash flows are required, and they are also necessary to produce value for investors. Investors in particular prefer to see growing cash flows even after capital expenditures have been paid for (which is known as free cash flow).
