Question:

The following are independent situations for which you will recommend an appropriate audit report on internal control over financial reporting as required by PCAOB auditing standards:
1. The auditor identified a material misstatement in the financial statements that was not detected by management of the company.
2. The auditor was unable to obtain any evidence about the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
3. The auditor determined that a deficiency in internal control exists that will not prevent or detect a material misstatement in the financial statements.
