1. IAASB issues guidance on audit reporting for audit of financial statements of less complex entities
The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) has issued guidance on audit reporting relating to the International Standard on Auditing for Audits of Financial Statements of Less Complex Entities. This guidance shall assist the auditor in issuing the modified audit report and also while including the Emphasis of Matter paragraph (EOM) or Other Matter (OM) paragraph in the auditor’s report. Further, it shall also guide the auditor in reporting material uncertainty related to going concern.
The guidance includes eight illustrative audit reports explaining the different scenarios of adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, and opinion where there is a material uncertainty related to going concern. However, it is important to note that this guidance shall complement the previously released resources and shall not amend or override previously issued International Standard on Auditing for Less Complex Entities. Thus, this guidance shall not be the substitute for the previously issued standard. This new guidance can be accessed from IAASB official website.
