This will m<strong>in</strong>imize the extent of work <strong>in</strong>volved <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> identify, assess, and possibly disclose subsequent events <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements. 13.2 Dual Dat<strong>in</strong>g Subsequent events that become known after the date of the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s report often result <strong>in</strong> additi<strong>on</strong>al audit work be<strong>in</strong>g required that affects account balances, account<strong>in</strong>g estimates, provisi<strong>on</strong>s, and other disclosures <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements. In such situati<strong>on</strong>s, a new audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s report would be issued that would not be dated earlier than the date of approval of the amended f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements. However, for certa<strong>in</strong> subsequent events, the additi<strong>on</strong>al audit work required can be restricted solely <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the amendment of the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements as described <strong>in</strong> the relevant note <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements. In these situati<strong>on</strong>s (assum<strong>in</strong>g local laws or regulati<strong>on</strong>s permit), the orig<strong>in</strong>al date of the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s report would be reta<strong>in</strong>ed, but a new date is added (dual dat<strong>in</strong>g) <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>in</strong>form readers that the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s procedures subsequent <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the orig<strong>in</strong>al date were restricted <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the subsequent amendment. An example of a situati<strong>on</strong> <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g dual dat<strong>in</strong>g: • The orig<strong>in</strong>al audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s report was dated September 15, 20XX; • On Oc<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ber 22, 20XX, the entity announced the sale of a major part of its bus<strong>in</strong>ess. A new note (Y) describ<strong>in</strong>g the event was prepared by management for <strong>in</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong> <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statements; and • The audit work performed <strong>on</strong> the details of note Y was completed <strong>on</strong> November 3, 20XX. The revised word<strong>in</strong>g for dual dat<strong>in</strong>g the audi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r’s report would be as follows: “September 15, 20XX except as <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Note Y, which is as of November 3, 20XX.”
