What is meant by a “colorable claim”? Do you believe auditors should be liable for investor losses even if they follow generally accepted auditing standards?
If the auditors discover that the carrying amount of a client’s investments is overstated because of a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline in market value, they should insist thata. The approximate market value of the investments be shown in parentheses on the face of the balance sheet.b. The investments be classified as long term for balance-sheet purposes with full disclosure in the footnotes.c. The loss in value be recognized in the financial statements.d. The equity section of the balance sheet separately show a charge equal to the amount of the loss.
Why is the risk that the auditor might make a mistake in expressing a modified opinion on financial statements, which are in reality, free from material misstatements and are fairly presented considered a business risk?
