Under U.S. auditing standards, when an auditor believes there is substantial doubt about the ability of an entity to continue as a going concern, all of the following should be included in the audit documentation, except:
a. The effect of the auditor's conclusion on the auditor's report.
b. The conditions that gave rise to the substantial doubt.
c. Management's conclusion regarding whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated.
d. The auditor's conclusion about whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated.
Explanation
Choice "c" is correct. Whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated is a judgment call made by the auditor, and there is no requirement to document management's opinion on the matter under U.S. auditing standards. Under International Standards on Auditing, management must assess the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and the auditor must evaluate this assessment and document the evaluation in the audit workpapers.
Choices "b", "d", and "a" are incorrect. When an auditor believes there is substantial doubt about the ability of an entity to continue as a going concern, the conditions that gave rise to the substantial doubt, the auditor's conclusion about whether substantial doubt remains or is alleviated, and the effect of the auditor's conclusion on the auditor's report should all be documented.
