The date on auditor's report should not be____________?

Correct answer: C. earlier than the date on which the accounts are approved by the management

  • A. the data of AGM
  • B. later than the date on which the accounts are approved in board's meeting
  • C. earlier than the date on which the accounts are approved by the management
  • D. Both A. and B.

Explanation

The auditor’s report cannot be dated before management or the board has approved the financial statements, because the auditor must consider the final approved accounts. The report date is therefore not earlier than the management’s approval date.
