Quick Summary

A new employee has discovered a significant £70 lakh discrepancy in Sundry Debtors for the FY 2019-20 balance sheet, where several debit balances were audited as credit balances. While the previous financial statements are already audited and cannot be rectified, the advice given is to obtain debtor confirmations and communicate with the previous auditor. Any remaining differences or disagreements should be noted in the current audit report, with rectifications to be made in the FY 2020-21 accounts.

You should obtain debtors confirmation balances to check the accuracy of the balances of books of accounts. You have to communicate with the previous auditor who audited the statements and in case difference in opinion, you should adverse the opinion in audit report. You cannot rectify the already audited financial statements. You can rectify the financial statements in FY 2020-21
