An affirmative statement that subject matter conforms to the suitable criteria and is free from meaningful misunderstanding
B.
A statement that the assessment didn’t observe anything that makes us doubt whether subject matter conforms to the suitable criteria and is free from meaningful misunderstanding.
C.
A statement that the assessment encountered some limitations in what can be concluded and outside of those limitations a positive or negative statement can be offered.
A NEGATIVE assurance opinion or statement indicates that, based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, the assurance provider did not identify any reasons to believe that the subject matter does not conform to the applicable criteria. This form of opinion does not provide absolute assurance but rather limited assurance, suggesting that nothing came to the auditor's attention that causes them to believe the subject matter is not fairly stated.References:
