When the auditor reports on two or more periods, he or she should evaluate consistency between such periods and the consistency of such periods with the period prior thereto if such prior period is presented with the financial statements being reported upon. When the auditor reports only on the current period, he or she should evaluate whether the current-period financial statements are consistent with those of the preceding period. 03 The periods covered in the auditor's evaluation of consistency depend on the periods covered by the auditor's report on the financial statements. 02 To identify consistency matters that might affect the report, the auditor should evaluate whether the comparability of the financial statements between periods has been materially affected by changes in accounting principles or by material adjustments to previously issued financial statements for the relevant periods. 01 This standard establishes requirements and provides direction for the auditor's evaluation of the consistency of the financial statements, including changes to previously issued financial statements, and the effect of that evaluation on the auditor's report on the financial statements. 12 Reporting on Consistency of Financial StatementsĬonsistency and the Auditor's Report on Financial Statements 01 Consistency and the Auditor's Report on Financial Statements
