18-5 the auditor should issue an unqualified report on the 2002 financial statements and
a qualified report on the 2003 financial statements because the current year is not in
conformity with GAAP. The non-GAAP accounting for the lease transaction should be
disclosed in the footnotes.
18-6 The auditor has no responsibility beyond the financial information contained in
the report, and he or she has no obligation to perform any audit procedures to corroborate
the other information. However, auditing standards (AU 550) requires that the auditor
read the other information and consider whether such information is consistent with the
information contained in the audited financial statements.
18-7 If the auditor determines that other information contained in audited financial
statements is incorrect, the auditor should request that the client correct the other
information. If the other information is not revised, the auditor should include an
explanatory paragraph in the audit report, withhold the report, or withdraw from the
engagement.

Financial statements prepared on a comprehensive basis of accounting other than
GAAP.
Specified elements, accounts, or items of a financial statement.
Compliance with aspects of contractual agreements or regulatory requirements related
to audited financial statements.
Financial presentations to comply with contractual agreements or regulatory
provisions.
Financial information presented in prescribed forms or schedules that require a
prescribed form of auditor's report.
18-9 Four bases for OCBOA financial statements are:
Regulatory basis.
Tax basis.
Cash (or modified cash) basis.

not confused with financial statements prepared on a GAAP basis.
18-10 When an auditor reports on an entity's compliance with certain contractual
agreements or regulatory requirements related to audited financial statements (e.g.,
covenants on loan agreements), the auditor provides negative assurance as to compliance
with the provisions of the loan agreement. Negative assurance consists of a statement
that, as a result of specified procedures, nothing came to the auditor's attention that
indicated that the provisions of the loan agreement were not complied with.
