  • An auditor's opinion is a written statement describing an auditor's independent, unbiased and qualified evaluation of the accuracy and completeness of a company's financial statements and practices, as well as an evaluation of a company's compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
  • When an auditor feels that a company's financial statements are fair and accurate, it issues an unqualified  opinion and does so using a standard reporting template (this is why many opinions read the same way). An audit report also includes a statement that the audit was conducted in accordance with GAAP. When the auditor cannot give an unqualified opinion, it issues a qualified opinion, which lists the reasons for the auditor's concern about the company's financial statements and controls and the possible effects on the financial statements
  • An audit's objective is to help the auditor form an opinion of the accuracy and fairness of a company's financial statements. This is done for the sake of the shareholders, regulatory authorities, lenders and other people with an interest in the health of the company.
