Which of the following representations should not be included in a report on internal control related matters noted in an audit of a nonissuer?
Choice 'b' is correct. A report on internal control related matters noted in an audit should not state that there are no significant deficiencies in internal control, since this statement might erroneously imply that the auditor searched for such conditions.
Choice 'a' is incorrect. The auditor is permitted to state that no material weaknesses were identified during the audit. Typically this occurs in reports submitted to governmental authorities.
Choice 'c' is incorrect. The auditor may suggest that corrective follow-up action should be taken due to the relative significance of material weakness discovered.
Choice 'd' is incorrect. The auditor's report may state that his or her consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that exist.
