@Trish: You too! We got this!!!
Quick question:
An auditor is required to reach a conclusion in every audit regarding whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. If the auditor decides to mention the going concern problem in his or her report, he or she is precluded from:
A.
indicating the reason or reasons for the going concern problem.
B.
issuing a qualified opinion on an accounting matter along with the going concern explanation paragraph.
C.
issuing an unmodified opinion on the financial statements.
D.
using conditional language in the auditor's conclusion about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern in a going concern emphasis-of-matter paragraph.
I don't get why the answer is D. I thought the answer was B.
Here's the explanation:
Some auditors issue reports in which the auditor's conclusions about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern is unclear because of the use of conditional terminology, such as “substantial doubt about its (the entity's) ability to continue as a going concern.” Such language is precluded by AU-C 570, The Auditor's Consideration of an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
