Introduction:
Audit is a process of evaluating the accuracy of financial information in order to reach a level of assurance within the auditor which would allow expression of an opinion on the reliability of information presented.

The opinion expressed in such a case shall be only for the item audited and this fact needs to be stated in audit report.
To select: The correct option.
