Question

(B)   Unusual Items: Please give two examples of “unusual items” and explain if these items affect the current period income statement or a prior period income statement.

Why should these particular items be reported separately on the income statement? Please be specific.

 

(C)   Audit Reports:

      (1)   What types of companies are required to obtain an independent audit and what is the purpose of the Audit Report?

      (2)   An “unqualified opinion” doesn’t sound very favorable; in fact, it sounds like the person giving the opinion does not have the proper credentials. Please clarify this issue. Wouldn’t a company rather receive a “qualified opinion?”

Also, does a clean opinion mean the financial statements are 100% error-free? Please explain.
