[Note: For operative dates of paragraphs changed or added by an AmendingSUStandard, see Compilation Details.]IntroductionScope of this Auditing Standard1.2.This Auditing Standard deals with the independent auditor’s overall responsibilities whenconducting an audit of a financial report in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.Specifically, it sets out the overall objectives of the independent auditor, and explains thenature and scope of an audit designed to enable the independent auditor to meet thoseobjectives. It also explains the scope, authority and structure of the Australian AuditingStandards, and includes requirements establishing the general responsibilities of theindependent auditor applicable in all audits, including the obligation to comply with theAustralian Auditing Standards. The independent auditor is referred to as “the auditor”hereafter.Australian Auditing Standards are written in the context of an audit of a financial report by anauditor. They are to be applied as necessary in the circumstances to audits of other historicalfinancial information. Australian Auditing Standards do not address the responsibilities of theauditor that may exist in legislation, regulation or otherwise in connection with, for example,the offering of securities to the public. Such responsibilities may differ from those establishedin the Australian Auditing Standards. Accordingly, while the auditor may find aspects of theASA 200 - compiled-7-AUDITING STANDARD

Auditing Standard ASA 200Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance withAustralian Auditing StandardsAustralian Auditing Standards helpful in such circumstances, it is the responsibility of theauditor to ensure compliance with all relevant legal, regulatory or professional obligations.An Audit of a Financial ReportThe purpose of an audit is to enhance the degree of confidence of intended users in thefinancial report. This is achieved by the expression of an opinion by the auditor on whetherthe financial report is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicablefinancial reporting framework. In the case of most general purpose frameworks, that opinionis on whether the financial report is presented fairly, in all material respects, or gives a trueand fair view in accordance with the framework. An audit conducted in accordance withAustralian Auditing Standards and relevant ethical requirements enables the auditor to formthat opinion. (Ref: Para. A1)4.The financial report subject to audit is that of the entity, prepared by management of the entitywith oversight from those charged with governance. Australian Auditing Standards do notimpose responsibilities on management or those charged with governance and do not overridelaws and regulations that govern their responsibilities. However, an audit in accordance withAustralian Auditing Standards is conducted on the premise that management and, whereappropriate, those charged with governance have acknowledged certain responsibilities thatare fundamental to the conduct of the audit. The audit of the financial report does not relievemanagement or those charged with governance of their responsibilities. (Ref: Para. A2-A11)5.As the basis for the auditor’s opinion, Australian Auditing Standards require the auditor toobtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance. It is obtained when the auditor has obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidenceto reduce audit risk (that is, the risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate opinion whenthe financial report is materially misstated) to an acceptably low level. However, reasonableassurance is not an absolute level of assurance, because there are inherent limitations of anaudit which result in most of the audit evidence on which the auditor draws conclusions andbases the auditor’s opinion being persuasive rather than conclusive. (Ref: Para. A28-A52)6.The concept of materiality is applied by the auditor both in planning and performing the audit,and in evaluating the effect of identified misstatements on the audit and of uncorrectedmisstatements, if any, on the financial report.1 In general, misstatements, including omissions,are considered to be material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financialreport. Judgements about materiality are made in the light of surrounding circumstances, andare affected by the auditor’s perception of the financial information needs of users of thefinancial report, and by the size or nature of a misstatement, or a combination of both. Theauditor’s opinion deals with the financial report as a whole and therefore, the auditor is notresponsible for the detection of misstatements that are not material to the financial report as awhole.SUPERSEDED3.7.The Australian Auditing Standards contain objectives, requirements and application and otherexplanatory material that are designed to support the auditor in obtaining reasonableassurance. The Australian Auditing Standards require that the auditor exercise professionaljudgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the planning and performance ofthe audit and, among other things: 1Identify and assess risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,based on an understanding of the entity and its environment, including the entity’sinternal control.See ASA 320 Materiality in Planning and Performing an Audit, and ASA 450 Evaluation of Misstatements Identified during the Audit.ASA 200 - compiled-8-AUDITING STANDARD

Auditing Standard ASA 200Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance withAustralian Auditing Standards Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about whether material misstatementsexist, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to the assessed risks. Form an opinion on the financial report based on conclusions drawn from the auditevidence obtained.8.The form of opinion expressed by the auditor will depend upon the applicable financialreporting framework and any applicable law or regulation. (Ref: Para. A12-A13)9.The auditor may also have certain other communication and reporting responsibilities to users,management, those charged with governance, or parties outside the entity, in relation tomatters arising from the audit. These may be established by the Australian Auditing Standardsor by applicable law or regulation.210.EDEffective Date[Deleted by the AUASB. Refer Aus 0.3]Overall Objectives of the AuditorED(a)To obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, thereby enabling theauditor to express an opinion on whether the financial report is prepared, in allmaterial respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework; and(b)To report on the financial report, and communicate as required by the AustralianAuditing Standards, in accordance with the auditor’s findings.RS12.In conducting an audit of a financial report, the overall objectives of the auditor are:In all cases when reasonable assurance cannot be obtained and a qualified opinion in theauditor’s report is insufficient in the circumstances for purposes of reporting to the intendedusers of the financial report, the Australian Auditing Standards require that the auditordisclaim an opinion or withdraw (or resign)3 from the engagement, where withdrawal ispossible under applicable law or regulation.Aus 12.1PE11.In Australian Auditing Standards only the term “withdrawal” is used.13.SUDefinitionsFor the purposes of this Auditing Standard, the following terms have the meanings attributedbelow:(a)Applicable financial reporting framework means the financial reporting frameworkadopted by management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance in thepreparation of the financial report that is acceptable in view of the nature of the entityand the objective of the financial report, or that is required by law or regulation.The term “fair presentation framework” means a financial reporting framework thatrequires compliance with the requirements of the framework and:(i)23Acknowledges explicitly or implicitly that, to achieve fair presentation of thefinancial report, it may be necessary for management to provide disclosuresbeyond those sp
