List A represents the types of opinions the auditor ordinarily would issue and List B represents the report modifications and paragraph modifications that would be necessary. For each situation, select the best answer for the type of opinion and modifications the auditor would normally select. Assume all amounts are material to the financial statements and may or may not be pervasive. If different reports would be required, list them both. (2 points each)

1. In auditing the long-term investments account, an auditor is unable to obtain audited financial statements for an investee located in a foreign country. The auditor concludes that sufficient competent evidential matter regarding this investment cannot be obtained.
2. Due to recurring operating losses and working capital deficiencies, an auditor has substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. However, the financial statement disclosures concerning these matters are adequate.
3. A companys inventory records were deficient and the auditor was required to satisfy herself that the inventory was properly stated using alternative procedures. She is satisfied with the results of those procedures.
4. A company changes from FIFO to LIFO for inventory valuation and the auditor concurs with the change. The change has a material effect on the comparability of the entitys financial statements this year, but is expected to have an immaterial effect in the future.
5. An entity discloses certain lease obligations in the notes to the financial statements. The auditor believes that the failure to capitalize these leases is a departure from generally accepted accounting principles.
