13 Review of Interim Financial Information for Public Companies The SEC requires quarterly financial statements to be reviewed by the company s external auditor prior to the company s filing of the Form 10-Q.

14 Review of Interim Financial Information for Public Companies Like reviews under SSARS, a review for a public company does not provide a basis for expressing a positive form opinion.

32 Specified Elements, Accounts, or Items Two differences in these types of audits: 1. Materiality is defined in terms of the elements, accounts, or items being audited rather than for the overall statements. 2. The first standard of reporting under GAAS does not apply Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 25-32
33 Debt Compliance Letters and Similar Reports The engagement and report should be limited to compliance matters the auditor is qualified to evaluate. The auditor should provide a debt compliance letter only for a client for whom the auditor has done an audit of the overall financial statements Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 25-33
34 Debt Compliance Letters and Similar Reports The auditor s opinion is in the form of a negative assurance, stating that nothing came to the auditor s attention that would lead the auditor to believe there was noncompliance Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 25-34
35 End of Chapter Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Auditing 12/e, Arens/Beasley/Elder 25-35
