You are the audit partner of Power Auditors and you are auditing your client Freefall Incorporated After finishing all the tests on the clients financial information you determine that there is a material misstatement in the accounts receivable account of your client This misstatement has also caused the sales revenue account to be materially misstated
You have notified the client about the misstatement but as of reporting date, client has not made any corrections You also found misstatements in the fixed assets and accounts payable accounts, but they are not material as per your assessment You found no other misstatements in the other accounts In addition to this, you also notice that the client has a large amount of debt which will be due next year
As the business has suffered a loss this year and does not have enough cash flow at the end of the year to pay the debt next year, the client will need to secure some form of refinancing next year Without this refinancing, there is a significant possibility that the client may go bankrupt During your audit, you also noticed that the clients policy of recognizing financial assets in fair value is complex involving significant estimates However, your independent assessment revealed that these estimates are reasonably made
Required
Given the facts above, draft a complete audit opinion letter for your client following the appropriate audit standards
