In preparation for tomorrow’s meeting with the partner and likely subsequent meeting with Murchison management, develop recommended responses to the following possible scenarios. In developing your responses, assume that each scenario is independent of the others:


In this scenario, management is restricting the auditor from examining pertinent information
related to a material uncertainty. Since this represents a client-imposed scope limitation, the

Auditing Standards (see AU-C 705). Another option would be to withdraw from the engagement.
