Explanation of Solution
The main purpose of audit reports is to provide reasonable assurance to the investor that the company’s financial data is reliable. As per the authoritative pronouncements, there is no restriction to use audit reports unless the information is not found misleading. In the given case, JB has used the audit reports as a general marketing tool to solicit investments, or credits, or sales. This practice could be acceptable as long as the information is real.
