However, if management does not amend the financial statements in circumstances where the audiong>toong>r believes they need ong>toong> be amended, then: (Ref: Para. A13-A14) (a) If the audiong>toong>r’s report has not yet been provided ong>toong> the entity, the audiong>toong>r shall modify the opinion as required by ISA 705 and then provide the audiong>toong>r’s report; or (b) If the audiong>toong>r’s report has already been provided ong>toong> the entity, the audiong>toong>r shall notify management and, unless all of those charged with governance are involved in managing the entity, those charged with governance, not ong>toong> issue the financial statements ong>toong> third parties before the necessary amendments have been made.

(ref. Para. A15-A16) 560.14 After the financial statements have been issued, the audiong>toong>r has no obligation ong>toong> perform any audit procedures regarding such financial statements. However, if, after the financial statements have been issued, a fact becomes known ong>toong> the audiong>toong>r that, had it been known ong>toong> the audiong>toong>r at the date of the audiong>toong>r’s report, may have caused the audiong>toong>r ong>toong> amend the audiong>toong>r’s report, the audiong>toong>r shall: (a) Discuss the matter with management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance. (b) Determine whether the financial statements need amendment and, if so, (c) Inquire how management intends ong>toong> address the matter in the financial statements. 560.15 If management amends the financial statements, the audiong>toong>r shall: (Ref: Para. A17) (a) Carry out the audit procedures necessary in the circumstances on the amendment. (b) Review the steps taken by management ong>toong> ensure that anyone in receipt of the previously issued financial statements ong>toong>gether with the audiong>toong>r’s report thereon is informed of the situation. (c) Unless the circumstances in paragraph 12 apply: (i) Extend the audit procedures referred ong>toong> in paragraphs 6 and 7 ong>toong> the date of the new audiong>toong>r’s report, and date the new audiong>toong>r’s report no earlier than the date of approval of the amended financial statements; and (ii) Provide a new audiong>toong>r’s report on the amended financial statements. (d) When the circumstances in paragraph 12 apply, amend the audiong>toong>r’s report, or provide a new audiong>toong>r’s report as required by paragraph 12. 560.16 The audiong>toong>r shall include in the new or amended audiong>toong>r’s report an Emphasis of Matter paragraph or Other Matter(s) paragraph referring ong>toong> a note ong>toong> the financial statements that more extensively discusses the reason for the amendment of the previously issued financial statements and ong>toong> the earlier report provided by the audiong>toong>r. 560.17 If management does not take the necessary steps ong>toong> ensure that anyone in receipt of the previously issued financial statements is informed of the situation and does not amend the financial statements in circumstances where the audiong>toong>r believes they need ong>toong> be amended, the audiong>toong>r shall notify management and, unless all of those charged with governance are involved in managing the entity, those charged with governance, that the audiong>toong>r will seek ong>toong> prevent future reliance on the audiong>toong>r’s report. If, despite such notification, management or those charged with governance do not take these necessary steps, the audiong>toong>r shall take appropriate action ong>toong> seek ong>toong> prevent reliance on the audiong>toong>r’s report.
