- Evaluate the following quotation: “If a CPA firm completes a nonpublic company audit of Adam Company’s financial statements following AICPA generally accepted auditing standards and is satisfied with the results of the audit, an unmodified audit report may be issued. On the other hand, if no audit is performed of the current year’s financial statements, but the CPA firm has performed satisfactory audits in prior years, has confidence in the management of the company, and make a quick review of the current year’s financial statements, a qualified report may be issued.” Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer.arrow_forwardDave and Charlie are sitting at lunch one day on the premises of one of their large audit clients when the topic of going concern comes up. Dave mentions to Charlie that he vaguely recalls hearing this term in his accounting classes back in college, but doesn't remember what this means or why it is part of the audit. Which of the following responses by Charlie would help Dave to understand this? (Select all that apply.) Going concern deals with the entity's ability to continue operating as an enterprise, and is an important assumption that the auditor should evaluate. The going concern assumption is required to be evaluated by management each year for the forthcoming year. The going concern assumption is tested by evaluating management's breach of loan and debt covenants over the past three years. Going concern really speaks to the client firm's ability to pay its short-term liabilities when they come due, and whether the firm will need to refinance maturing loans to conserve cash.arrow_forwardWritten Representations Omissions.
