    If an auditor finds a material misstatement within a company’s F/S, and the company corrects the misstatement in its year end adjusting entries, what type of opinion will be issued by the auditor? I believe the answer would be a qualified opinion, since there was a material misstatement.

    Unqualified, the statements, as presented will be materially correct.

    If a qualified opinion was issued every time there was an audit adjustment proposed very few audits would have unqualified opinions.

    Everyone else has it correct. The qualified opinion would only be issued if the reporting company did not make adjusting entries to correct the material misstatement.
