Yes, i must question my auditor and get a written communication why it was not properly checked during the time of auditing and i will explain the situation to my seniors to get a permanent soultion for the problem which it will not happen again, so i will recommend for a quick check list to be consider while doing auditing.

Yes , I have to ask the auditor , as he is the one responsiple for the issuing balance sheet. Therefore , my steps are:

First, check the mistake with the immediate superviore and get a solution.  

Second, request the auditor  to do the required reconcialition even if it was in the previous year.

this based on the kind of mistake i recoginize 

if the mistake is grave and could be easly recogized accourding to audit rules i will ask for clearfication 

if the mistake is simple and couldn't be recogized easly i will not ask 

as audit rules depend on taking samples to check for some items and for other depend on total check

Yes. Although the mistake is related to a previous year, recognising and rectifying it in the current year would reflect the proper financial position.

Yes. Even if it was a mistake done in the previous year, it can still be pointed out so that proper accounting adjustments can be made or if not it is a mistake everyone can learn from.

From my point of view yes we can, it is so because audits are conducted to inspect error free statements and financial, therefore to be accuarte in figures we can clarify all the odds with auditors to statement accuracy.
