ONE-PART OPINION [1 record]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Auditing (Accounting)
CONT

A one-part audit opinion states that the audit is either "fairly presented" or "fairly presented in accordance with GAAP", while a two-part audit opinion states that the audit is "fairly presented and in accordance with GAAP". A one-part "fairly presented" opinion gives no weight to the rules of GAAP but entirely relies upon fairness as interpreted by the auditor. A one-part "fairly presented in accordance with GAAP" opinion gives the entire weight to the rules, and suggests that if you follow the rules then financial statement presentation will be fair by default.
