Selecting The Appropriate Artificial Neural Network To Minimize Audit Costs When Assessing The Financial Viability Of Audit Clients

Abstract

As part of an audit engagement, auditors must assess the financial viability of the audit client (SAS Nos. 58, 59, 96).  If the auditor thinks that the client is financially healthy, no action is required. 

However, if the auditor believes that the audit client will fail within a year from the financial statement date, then the auditor must include explanatory language stating that belief as part of the auditor’s report.
