In 30% of the reports analyzed, there was identified emphasis of matter paragraphs; the main observation is by far related to the going concern, followed by the financial and operating difficulties of companies and by the effects of different global crisis (financial or others). http://revista.cafr.ro/temp/Article_9654.pdf audit reports; (un)modified opinion; justifications; emphasis of matter paragraphs; romanian listed companies |
