Line 1: Line 1:
''Auditors' reports on financial statements & other matters.''
''Financial reporting.''


Auditors form, and report, an audit opinion about financial statements that they audit.
Fair Value Through the statement of Other Comprehensive Income.


Changes in fair value are ''not'' reported through the statement of profit or loss.


The auditors do not guarantee - nor certify - the amounts in the financial statements.
Instead through the statement of other comprehensive income.


The incorrect belief that they do, is sometimes known as the audit "expectation gap".


In practice, the statement of profit or loss and the statement of other comprehensive income may be presented as a single combined statement.


Similarly incorrect - and excessive - expectations can also arise about other assurance work undertaken by external audit specialists.
However, in any event the FVTOCI item will not appear in the statement of profit or loss part.

Fair Value Through the statement of Other Comprehensive Income.

Changes in fair value are not reported through the statement of profit or loss.

Instead through the statement of other comprehensive income.

However, in any event the FVTOCI item will not appear in the statement of profit or loss part.
