Auditing standards define a confirmation as the "process of obtaining and evaluating a direct communication from a third party in response to a request for information about a particular item affecting financial statement assertions." The assertion for which confirmation of accounts receivable balances provides primary evidence is: a. Completeness b. Presentation & Disclosure c. Valuation d. Rights & Obligations e. Existence
The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, performance, and changes in financial position of an enterprise that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. By using the relevant knowledge from (i) NZ IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and (ii) NZ IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates, and Errors, you are required to provide critical discussions of how the objective could be deviated if a business adopts NZ IASs/NZ IFRSs to prepare its financial statements. Some limitations or shortcomings of IAS 37/8.
