of the report as a whole can occur if the auditor must provide additional
paragraphs to be able to explain the abnormalities of a financial statement,
which is accompanied by the impact of the resulting abnormality, on an audit report.

be issued to a business is an adverse opinion. This indicates that the firm’s
financial records do not conform to GAAP. In addition, the financial records
provided by the business have been grossly misrepresented. Although this may
occur by error, it is often an indication of fraud. When this type of report is

as investors, lenders and other requesting parties will generally not accept
it.

some occasions, an auditor is unable to complete an accurate audit report. This
may occur for a variety of reasons,
such as an absence of appropriate financial records.When this happens, the auditor issues a disclaimer of opinion,
stating that an opinion of the
firm’s financial status could not be determined.
