      Question

      Client has breached debt covenants; lender issued waiver

      valid for 9 months after balance sheet date. Auditor notes liquidity support from group company but no formal commitment. What should auditor conclude?
      A No going concern issue; waiver suffices. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Material uncertainty exists; include separate β€œMaterial Uncertainty Related to Going Concern” paragraph. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Adverse opinion required. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Disclaimer of opinion required. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E No disclosure if waiver covers 9 months. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      SA 570 requires auditor to evaluate going concern for at least 12 months. Waiver for 9 months leaves uncertainty. With no formal support, a material uncertainty exists; adequate disclosure + a separate paragraph is required, not adverse/disclaimer unless disclosures inadequate.
