Chapter $01$ Problem $1-27$ LO $1-7$ Many companies post their financial statements and auditor's report on their home pages, generally under a heading labeled "Investor relations." Use one of the Internet search engines to do the following: Required: a$.$ Visit apple's $($www$.$apple.com$)$ and Microsoft's $($www$.$microsoft.com$)$ home pages and review their financial statements, including their auditors' reports. $($Hint: Look for the auditor's opinion in the company's annual report under an "investor relations" or "investors" tab.$)$ b$.$ Search the web for the home page of a non$-$U$.$S$.$ company and review its financial statements, including its auditor's report. For example, BMW$\text{'}$s website $($www$.$bmwgroup.com, under Investor Relations$)$ allows a visitor to download the annual report, which includes the financial statements and accompanying audit report as a pdf file. Identify the auditing standards followed by the company's auditors. c$.$ Compare the standard U$.$S$.$ audit report with the audit report for the non$-$U$.$S$.$ company $($e$.$g$.,$ BMW$).$ Note that in some cases, non$-$U$.$S$.-$based companies' reports use a U$.$S$.$ audit report. d$.$ Visit the SEC's website $($www$.$sec$.$gov$),$ and find the link for Edgar Search tools. Find, download, and print the auditor's report for a U$.$S$.$ company of your choice. Identify whether or not the audit report is an unqualified, or "clean," opinion and explain how you could tell.
