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.

AICPA Auditing Standards

IIA Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing

Why do they even call it a 'negative assurance' opinion? Shouldn't it just be called an 'eh, it's probably fine' opinion?

B) A statement that the assessment didn't observe anything that makes us doubt whether subject matter conforms to the suitable criteria and is free from meaningful misunderstanding.

I think B is the correct answer. A negative assurance opinion doesn't make a positive statement, it just says the assessment didn't find any issues.
