A NEGATIVE assurance opinion or statement is

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

A NEGATIVE assurance opinion or statement indicates that, based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, the assurance provider did not identify any reasons to believe that the subject matter does not conform to the applicable criteria. This form of opinion does not provide absolute assurance but rather limited assurance, suggesting that nothing came to the auditor's attention that causes them to believe the subject matter is not fairly stated.

C sounds like it’s just dodging the question. What’s the point?

I thought negative assurance meant they found issues, but I guess not!

Wait, so B means they didn’t find anything wrong? That’s confusing.

I recall that negative assurance is more about the absence of findings, so I lean towards B, but I wonder if C could also be relevant in some way.

I'm a bit confused about the wording in A and B. They sound similar, but I feel like B is more about not finding issues rather than confirming everything is fine.

I remember practicing a question like this where we discussed the difference between positive and negative assurance. I think B is the right choice here.

I think a negative assurance opinion means we didn't find anything wrong, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what B is saying.
