Reporting when the prior period was audited—If the audit report on the prior period's financial statements is not presented, the review report should include an “other-matter” paragraph to indicate that the prior period's financials were audited; to identify the date of that audit report and the type of opinion expressed (and the reasons for any modifications); and to state that no audit procedures were performed after the date of the audit report.
