4. The introductory paragraph should state that the financial statements were audited.

5. The introductory paragraph should state the responsibilities of management and of

the auditor.

6. There is really no scope paragraph.

sentences in scope paragraph except that the first of the two sentences should state

that the audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing

standards rather than accounting standards.

8. And the second of the two sentences should state “the financial statements are free

of material misstatement.”

9. The latter two sentences of the scope paragraph which describe an audit are missing
