Description

Under generally accepted accounting principles, continuation for an entity is usually assumed in the absence of information to the contrary. The proposed Statement describes the types of contrary information that may raise questions about an entity's ability to continue and factors that may mitigate such information and describes the auditor's related considerations, including consideration of relevant plans of management and prospective data. The proposed Statement also discusses the adequacy of informative disclosures and the effects on the auditor's report when a question has been raised about an entity's ability to continue in existence. The proposed Statement does not, however, change existing standards for the auditor's reporting responsibilities.
