Overview
This Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) deals with the auditor's responsibility to evaluate the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and of uncorrected misstatements, if any, on the financial statements.
CAS 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements, deals with the auditor's responsibility, in forming an opinion on the financial statements, to conclude whether reasonable assurance has been obtained about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. The auditor's conclusion required by CAS 700 takes into account the auditor's evaluation of uncorrected misstatements, if any, on the financial statements, in accordance with this CAS.
CAS 320, Materiality in Planning and Performing an Audit, deals with the auditor's responsibility to apply the concept of materiality appropriately in planning and performing an audit of financial statements.
