change opinion of Auditor, then auditor has to perform audit procedures:

• Determine whether FST need amendment.
• Inquire how management intends to amend FST

Perform audit procedure on the amendment unless restricted by law (In India auditor has all the rights
till the date of AGM, so Auditor can perform these audit procedures). Audit procedure includes: -
• Extending audit procedures to the date of new audit report
• Provide new Audit report on amended FST.
• Auditor should not sign (date) till the new FST are signed (approved) by BOD.
Mgt does not amend FST

• Law says it is required.

- If Audit Report is not provided to the entity, Auditor should modify the opinion and give his report.

party before amendments. If management doesn't listen to Auditor, then auditor should take appropriate
action to seek to prevent reliance on Auditor's report (public notice, speak at AGM)

amendment other than the subsequent event (Amendment).
