Description

If adopted, this proposed Statement would supersede Statement on Auditing Standards No. 2, Reports on Audited Financial Statements, paragraphs 21 through 26. It provides additional guidance to assist the auditor in deciding whether to modify ("subject to") his report because of a matter involving an uncertainty. This reporting guidance follows the framework of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which discusses contingencies in terms of the probable, reasonably possible and remote likelihood of their occurrence. Guidance regarding procedures for auditing uncertainties is also provided.
