Practical flow of bond valuation
AFM
answered on 28-Jan-26 20:47
Sir, I have understood the concept of market price, market interest rate and yield to maturity, individually. But how it actually works in the practical world. Like, among the three - which determines which? I couldn't get chronological flow of work of the three concepts in real world.

Using OM para to refer the modification given for Comparitive FS
Auditing
answered on 29-Jan-26 13:13
Mam, am i correct to understand that, for giving modified opinion for the current year, the auditor will use Opinion para & Basis for Modified opinion para. And for giving reference of modification issued to previous year FS, the auditor will use OM para of the same Audit Report. i.e. the auditor is able to notify modified opinion given to current year as well as previous year or years, in the same audit report? Regardless of the Modified Report that the auditor has issued for the previous years separately for the respective FS of the FY. The auditor is also required to refer such modification in his Current year audit report ? [Video Time Stamp: 05:30]

Yes. Your understanding is largely correct. Modified opinion for the current year- Where the auditor concludes that a modified opinion (qualified / adverse / disclaimer) is required for the current year financial statements, the reporting structure shall be: - Opinion paragraph – reflecting the modified opinion and Basis for Modified Opinion paragraph – immediately following the Opinion paragraph, explaining the reasons for such modification. This treatment is mandatory under SA 705 Under SA 710 If the prior period financial statements were modified, and The matter giving rise to the modification is still relevant to the current year (i.e., unresolved, continues to impact comparability, or is material for users’ understanding), then the auditor shall draw attention to such prior-period modification in the current year’s audit report. Through an OM paragraph, and Not through the Opinion or Basis for Modified Opinion paragraphs (unless the matter also causes a current-year modification). this will apply even if prior years already had separate audit reports Even though: Separate audit reports were issued for each prior year, and Those reports already contained the respective modified opinions, the auditor is still required, under SA 710, to refer to such modification in the current year audit report, if it is relevant to the current year financial statements.
