Summarized Financial Statement


PSA 810 (clarified) Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements
Requirements:
Engagement acceptance
The auditor shall accept an engagement to report on summary financial
statements in accordance with this PSA only when the auditor has been engaged to
conduct an audit in accordance with PSAs of the financial statements from which the
summary financial statements are derived.
Criteria
Management is responsible for the determination of the information that needs to
e reflected in the summary financial statements so that they are consistent; in all
material respects, with or represent a fair summary of the audited financial
statements.
Factors affect the auditors determination of the acceptability of the applied
criteria:
The nature of the entity
The purpose of the summary financial statements
The information needs of the intended users of the summary financial statement;
and
Whether the applied criteria will result in summary financial statements that are
not misleading in the circumstances.
The criteria for the preparation of summary financial statements may be
established by an authorized or recognized standards setting organization or by law
or regulation. Where established criteria for the preparation of summary financial
statements do not exist, criteria maybe developed by management, for example,
based on practice in a particular industry.
Timing of works and events subsequent to the date of the auditors report on the
audited Financial Statements
The procedures described in paragraph 8 of PSA 810 are often performed during
or immediately after the audit of financial statements. When the auditors report on
the summary financial statement after the completion of the audit of financial
statements, the auditor is not required to obtain additional audit evidence on the
audited financial statements, or report on the effects of events that occurred
subsequent to the date of the auditors report on the audited financial statements since
the summary financial statements are derived form the audited financial statements
and do not update them.

Element of auditors report

Title
This indicate the report of an independent auditor, for example, Report of
Independent Auditor affirms that the auditor has met all the relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence. This distinguishes the report of the independent
auditor from reports issued by others.
Addressee
Factors that may affect the auditors evaluation of appropriateness of the addressee of
the summary financial statements include the terms of the engagement, the nature of the
entity, and the purpose of the summary financial statements.
COMPARATIVES
If the audited financial statements contain comparatives, there is a presumption that
the summary financial statements also would contain comparatives. Comparatives in the
audited financial statements may be regarded as corresponding figures or as comparative
financial information. PSA 710 (Redrafted) describes how this difference affects the
auditors report on the financial statements, including, in particular, reference to other
auditors who audited the financial statements for the prior period.
Circumstances that may affect the auditors determination whether an omission of
comparatives is reasonable include the nature and objective of the summary financial
statements, the applied criteria, and the information needs of the intended users of the
summary financial statements.
