Basic Elements of the Auditors' Report


The purpose of this Bangladesh Standard on Auditing (BSA) is to establish standards and provide guidance on the form and content of the auditors' report issued as a result of an audit performed by an independent auditor's of the financial statements of an entity. Much of the guidance provided can be adapted to auditors' reports on financial information other than financial statements. The auditor should review and assess the conclusions drawn from the audit evidence obtained as the basis for the expression of an opinion on the financial statements. This review and assessment involves considering whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with an acceptable financial reporting framework I being either Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BASs) or relevant national standards or practices. It may also be necessary to consider whether the financial statements comply with statutory requirements. The auditors' report should contain a clear written expression of opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The auditor's report includes the following basic elements, ordinarily in the following layout: (a) Title: The auditors' report should have an appropriate title. It may be appropriate to use the term Independent Auditor in the title to distinguish the auditor's report from reports that might be issued by others, such as by officers of the entity, the board of directors, or from the reports of other auditors who may not have to abide by the same ethical requirements as the independent auditor. (b) Addressee: The auditors' report should be appropriately addressed as required by the circumstances of the engagement and local regulations. The report is ordinarily addressed either to the shareholders or the board of directors of the entity whose financial statements are being audited. (c) Opening or introductory paragraph: y y Identification of the financial statements audited; A statement of the responsibility of the entity's management and the responsibility of the auditor;
9

The following matters are important in this case: (i) The auditor's report should identify the financial statements of the entity that have been audited, including the date of and period covered by the financial statements. (ii) The report should include a statement that the financial statements are the responsibility of the entity's management and a statement that the responsibility of the auditor is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on the audit. (iii) Financial statements are the representations of management. The preparation of such statements requires management to make significant accounting estimates and judgments, as well as to determine the appropriate accounting principles and methods used in preparation of the financial statements. This determination will be made in the context of the financial reporting framework that management chooses, or is required to use. In contrast, the auditors' responsibility is to audit these financial statements in order to express an opinion thereon. An illustration of these matters in an opening (introductory) paragraph is; we have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the ABC Company as of December31, 20XX, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit (d) Scope paragraph (describing the nature of an audit): y y A reference to the BSAs or relevant national standards or practices; A description of the work the auditor performed;

The following issues are important in this case: (i) The auditor's report should describe the scope of the audit by stating that the audit was conducted in accordance with BSAs. Scope refers to the auditors' ability to perform audit procedures deemed necessary in the circumstances. The reader needs this as an assurance that the audit has been carried out in accordance with established standards or practices. Unless

10

otherwise stated, the auditing standards or practices followed are presumed to be those of the country indicated by the auditor's address. (ii) The report should include a statement that the audit was planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. (iii) The auditors' report should describe the audit as including: y Examining, on a test basis, evidence to support the financial statement amounts and disclosures; y y Assessing the accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements; Assessing the significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements; and y Evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

(iv) The report should include a statement by the auditor that the audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion. (v) An illustration of these matters in a scope paragraph is: We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion (e) Opinion paragraph: there should be an opinion paragraph containing y Reference to the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements (including identifying the country of origin of the financial reporting framework when the framework used is not Bangladesh Accounting Standards); and
11

An expression of opinion on the financial statements;

The following issues are important in this case: (i) The opinion paragraph of the auditor's report should clearly indicate the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements(including identifying the country of origin of the financial reporting framework when the framework used is not Bangladesh Accounting Standards) and state the auditors' opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view (or are presented fairly, in all material respects) in accordance with that financial reporting framework and, where appropriate, whether the financial statements comply with statutory requirements. (ii) The terms used to express the auditor's opinion are give a true and fair view or present fairly, in all material respects and are equivalent. Both terms indicate, amongst other things, that the auditor considers only those matters that are material to the financial statements. (iii)The financial reporting framework is determined by BASs, with an appropriate consideration of fairness and with due regard to Bangladesh legislation (Companies Act, Securities & Exchange Rule, Bank companies Act etc.) To advise the reader of the context in which the auditor's opinion is expressed, the auditors' opinion indicates the framework upon which the financial statements are based. The auditor refers to the financial reporting framework in such terms as: in accordance with Bangladesh Accounting Standards This designation will help the user to better understand which financial reporting framework was used in preparing the financial statements. When reporting on financial statements that are prepared specifically for use in another country, the auditor considers whether appropriate disclosure has been made in the financial statements about the financial reporting framework that has been used. (iv) In addition to an opinion on the true and fair view (or fair presentation, in all material respects), the auditors' report may need to include an opinion as to whether the financial statements comply with other requirements specified by relevant statutes or law. An illustration of these matters in an opinion paragraph is: In our opinion, the financial statements give a true
12

and fair view of (or present fairly, in all material respects) the financial position of the Company as of December31, 20XX, and of the results of its operations and its each flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BAS.) (f) Date of the report: The auditor should date the report as of the completion date of the audit. This informs the reader that the auditor has considered the effect on the financial statements and on the report of events and transactions of which the auditor became aware and that occurred up to that date. Since the auditors' responsibility is to report on the financial statements as prepared and presented by management, the auditor should not date the report earlier than the date on which the financial statements are signed or approved by management. (g) Auditor's address: The report should name a specific location, which is ordinarily the city where the auditor maintains the office that has responsibility for the audit. (h) Auditors' signature: The report should be signed in the name of the audit firm. The auditor's report is ordinarily signed in the name of the firm because the firm assumes responsibility for the audit
