Depends. Without provisions impact auditors opinion  subject to materiality amount.

Additionally discrepancies need explanation, throught the explanation it is possible to evaluate what type of management control deficiency needs to be fix and the real impact on financial statements.

If it forms major part of financial statements then yes it is true. but if the items are immaterial, these can be adjusted in profit and loss account and audit may give unmodified opinion.

I agree with Ms. Carmen Cancela. If provisions are provided it may not really effect the auditors report nor it shows management control deficiency. Especially in food and hotel industry there will be a lot of discrepancies in the stock due to the nature of some products which are perishable.

Yes stock count discrepancies show the control weaknesses.  

 

Whether these discrepancies will affect the auditors’ opinion or not will depend upon:

The Nature of the Stock

Value of the stock

Materiality of the amount

Nature of the default
