    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 auditors of the financial statements of an entity. Much of the guidance provided can be

    BSA 700]

    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.[paragraph 2 of BSA 700] .

    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 considerwhether the financial statements comply with statutory requirements.[paragraph 3 of BSA 700]. The

    auditors report should contain a clear written expression of opinion on the financial statements taken

    as a whole.[paragraph 4 of BSA 700]

    BSA 700 has the following major parts regarding audit reports:

    Basic Elements of the Auditors Report [paragraph 5-26] The Auditors Report [paragraph 27-28] Modified Reports [paragraph 29-40] Circumstances that may Result in other than an Unqualified Opinion [paragraph 41-46]

    (c)Opening or introductory paragraph:

    i. Identification of the financial statements audited;

    ii. A statement of the responsibility of the entitys management and the responsibility of the

    6

    i. 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

    ii. An expression of opinion on the financial statements;

    (f) Date of the report;

    (g) Auditors address;

    (h) Auditors signature.

    A measure of uniformly in the form and content of the auditors report is desirable because it helps to

    promote the readers understanding and to identify unusual circumstances when they occur.

    [Paragraph 5 of BSA 700]

    (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 auditors 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. [Paragraph 6

    of BSA 700]

    (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.

    [Paragraph 7 of BSA 700]

    (c)Opening or introductory paragraph:

    The following matters are important in this case:

    (i) The auditors report should identify the financial statements of the entity that have been

    audited, including the date of and period covered by the financial statements. [Paragraph 8 of

    BSA 700]

    (ii) The report should include a statement that the financial statements are the responsibility of

    the entitys management and a statement that the responsibility of the auditor is to express an

    opinion on the financial statements based on the audit. [Paragraph 9 of BSA 700]

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    7/30

    (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.

    [Paragraph 10 of BSA 700]

    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 Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these

    financial statements based on our audit. [Paragraph 11 of BSA 700]

    (d) Scope paragraph:

    The following issues are important in this case:

    (i) The auditors 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 otherwise stated, the auditing standards or practices

    followed are presumed to be those of the country indicated by the auditors address. [Paragraph 12 of

    BSA 700]

    (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.

    [Paragraph 13 of BSA 700]

    (iii) The auditors report should describe the audit as including:

    a. Examining, on a test basis, evidence to support the financial statement amounts and disclosures;

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    8/30

    8

    b. Assessing the accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements;

    c. Assessing the significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial

    statements; and

    d. Evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. [Paragraph 14 of BSA 700]

    (iv)The report should include a statement by the auditor that the audit provides a reasonable

    basis for the opinion. [Paragraph 15 of BSA 700]

    (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. [Paragraph 16 of BSA 700]

    (e)Opinion paragraph:

    The following issues are important in this case:

    (i) The opinion paragraph of the auditors report should clearly indicate the financialreporting 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. [Paragraph 17 of BSA 700]

    (ii)(ii) The terms used to express the auditors 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.

    [Paragraph 18of BSA 700]

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    9/30

    9

    (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 auditors 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. [Paragraph 19 of BSA 700]

    (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. [Paragraph

    20 of BSA 700]

    An illustration of these matters in an opinion paragraph is:

    In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of (or present fairly, in all materialrespects) the financial position of the Company as of December31, 20X1, and of the results of its

    operations and its each flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Accounting

    Standards (BAS). [Paragraph 21 of BSA 700]

    (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.

    [Paragraph 23 of BSA 700]

    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. . [Paragraph 24 of BSA 700]

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    10/30

    10

    (g) Auditors 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. [Paragraph 25 of BSA 700]

    (h) Auditors signature: The report should be signed in the name of the audit firm. The auditorsreport is ordinarily signed in the name of the firm because the firm assumes responsibility for the

    audit. [Paragraph 26 of BSA 700]

    The Auditors Report:The Auditors Report with Unqualified Opinion-

    An unqualified opinion should be expressed when the auditor concludes that the financial statements

    give a true and fair view ( or are presented fairly, in all material respects) in accordance with the

    identified financial reporting framework. An unqualified opinion also includes implicitly that any

    changes in according principle or in the method of their application, and the effects thereof, have been

    properly determined and disclosed in the financial statements. [Paragraph 27 of BSA 700]

    The following is an illustration of the entire auditors report incorporating the basic elements set forth

    and illustrated above: This report illustrates the expression of an unqualified opinion. [Paragraph 28 of

    BSA 700]

    The Modified Auditors Report:

    According to paragraph 29 of BSA 700, an auditors report is considered to be modified in the

    following situations:

    Matters that DO Not Affect the Auditors Opinioni. Emphasis of matter

    Matters that DO Affect the Auditors Opinioni. Qualified opinion,ii. Disclaimer of opinion, oriii. Adverse opinion.

    Uniformly in the form and content of each type of modified report will enhance the users

    understanding of such reports. Accordingly, BSA 700 includes suggested wording to express an

    unqualified opinion as well as examples of modifying phrases for use when issuing modified reports.

    [Paragraph 29 of BSA 700]

    Matters That Do Not Affect the Auditors OpinionIn certain circumstances, an auditors report may be modified by adding an emphasis of matter

    paragraph to highlight a matter affecting the financial statements which is included in a note to the

    financial statements that more extensively discuss the matter. The addition of such an emphasis of

    matter paragraph does not affect the auditors opinion. The paragraph would preferably be included

    after the opinion paragraph and would ordinarily refer to the fact that the auditors opinion is not

    qualified in this respect. [Paragraph 30 of BSA 700]

    The auditor should modify the auditors report by adding a paragraph to highlight a material matter

    regarding a going concern problem. [Paragraph 31 of BSA 700]

    The auditor should consider modifying the auditors report by adding a paragraph if there is a

    significant uncertainty (other than a going concern problem), the resolution of which is dependent

    upon future events and which may affect the financial statements. An uncertainty is a matter whose

    outcome depends on future actions or events not under the direct control of the entity but that may

    affect the financial statements. [Paragraph 32 of BSA 700]

    The addition of a paragraph emphasizing a going concern problem or significant uncertainty is

    ordinarily adequate to meet the auditors reporting responsibilities regarding such matters. However,

    in extreme cases, such as situations involving multiples uncertainties that are significant to the

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    12/30

    12

    financial statements, the auditor may consider it appropriate to express a disclaimer of opinion instead

    of adding an emphasis of matter paragraph. [Paragraph 34 of BSA 700]

    Matters That Do Affect the Auditors Opinion:An auditor may not be able to express an unqualified opinion when either of the following

    circumstances exists and, in the auditors judgment, the effect of the matter is or may be matter to the

    financial statements:

    a. There is a limitation on scope of the auditors work; orb. There is a disagreement with management regarding the acceptability of the accounting

    policies selected, the method of their application or the adequacy of the financial statement

    disclosures.

    The circumstances described in a. could lead to a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion. The

    circumstances describes in b. could lead to a qualified opinion or an adverse opinion [paragraph 36 of

    BSA 700]

    i. Qualified opinion: A qualified opinion should be expressed when the auditor concludesthat an unqualified opinion cannot be expressed but that the effect of any disagreement

    with management, or limitation on scope is not so material and pervasive as to require an

    adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion. A qualified opinion should be expressed as

    being except for the effects of the matter to which the qualification relates [ paragraph

    37 of BSA 700]

    ii. Disclaimer of Opinion: A disclaimer of opinion should be expressed when the possibleeffect of a limitation on scope is so material and pervasive that the auditor has not been

    able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence and accordingly is unable to express

    an opinion on the financial statements [ paragraph 38 of BSA 700]

    iii. adverse opinion: An adverse opinion should be expressed when the effect of adisagreement is so material and pervasive to the financial statements that the auditor

    concludes that a qualification of the report is not adequate to disclose the misleading or

    incomplete nature of the financial statements [paragraph 39 of BSA 700]

  • 7/27/2019 AUDIT term paper.docx

    13/30

    13

    Circumstances that may result in other than an unqualified opinion

    Limited on scope

    A limitation on the scope of the auditors work may sometimes be imposed by the entity (for example,

    when the terms of the engagement specify that auditor will not carry out an audit procedure that the

    auditor believes is necessary). However, when the limitation in the terms of a proposed engagement is

    such that the auditor believes the need to express a disclaimer of opinion exists, the auditor would

    ordinary not accept such a limited engagement as an audit engagement, unless required by statute.

    Also, a statutory auditor would not accept such an audit engagement when the limitation infringes on

    the auditors statutory duties.

    A scope limitation may be imposed by circumstances ( for example, when the timing of the auditors

    appointment is such that the auditors is unable to observe the counting of physical inventories). It may

    also arise when, in the opinion of the auditor, the entitys accounting records are inadequate or when

    the auditor is unable to carry out an audit procedure believed to be desirable. In these circumstances,

    the auditor would attempt to carry out reasonable alternative procedures to obtain sufficient

    appropriate audit evidence to support an unqualified opinion.

    When there is a limitation on the scope of the auditors work that requires expression of a qualified

    opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, the auditors report should describe the limitation and indicates the

    possible adjustments to the financial statements that might have been determined to be necessary hadthe limitation not existed.

    Disagreement with management

    The auditor may disagree with management about matters such as the acceptability of accounting

    policies selected, the method of their application, or the adequacy of disclosures in the financial

    statement. If such disagreements are material to the financial statement, the auditor should express a

    qualified or an adverse opinion. (Paragraph 45of BSA700)

    basis for their opinion. In our opinion, the Financial Statements have been prepared in

    accordance with Bangladesh accounting Standards (BAS), give a true and Fair view of thestate of the Banks affairs as on 31 December 2007 and of the results of its operations and its

    cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Bank Company Act 1991, the rules

    and regulations issued by the Bangladesh Bank, the Companies Act 1994, the Securities

    Exchange Rules 1987 and other applicable laws and regulations. They have obtained all the

    information and explanations which to the best of their knowledge and belief were necessary

    for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof. In their opinion, proper books

    of account as required by law have been kept by the Bank so far as it appeared from our

    examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of their audit have

    been received from branches not visited by them. Besides, the capital Adequacy Ratio

    (CAR), as required by law, has been maintained adequately during the year and the financial

    statements conform to the prescribed Standards set in the accounting regulations issued by

    the Bangladesh Bank after consultation with the professional accounting bodies of

    Bangladesh. Finally we can say that auditor provides an unqualified opinion about the bank

    in their report

    Conclusion

    In the term paper the rules and regulation of BSA 700 has been focused based on auditreports. We have shown the impact and the implementation of these rules in the financial

    report of five banking companies.

    The auditors report should contain a clear written expression of opinion on the financial

    statements taken as a whole. BSA 700 has the major parts regarding audit reports, basic

    elements of the auditors report, the auditors report, modified reports , circumstances that

    may Result in other than an unqualified opinion. In this report mainly the basic elements of

    the financial reports have been discussed. All eight elements are present in the auditors

    report of all the banking companies. So it means that they follow the rules of BSA 700 very

    strictly.. In this report, it has been found that only in case on the auditors report of the city

    bank and the standard bank, the opinion of the auditor was qualified. All others report given

    by the auditors was unqualified. In the report all the elements of the report have been

    identified. The summary of the reports have also been given.
