MK Limited, a company engaged in the manufacture of modular furniture, is headquartered at Mumbai. The company is recently listed at the recognized stock exchange in the month of July, 2024. CD & Co., chartered accountants, are statutory auditors of the company for the F.Y. 2024-25. The company has approached statutory auditors for providing quarterly review report pursuant to requirement of SEBI to provide quarterly results of the company in accordance with SRE 2410. Elucidate the objective of the engagement assigned by the company to the statutory auditors.

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

Objective of engagement to review interim financial information: As per SRE 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", the objective of an engagement to review interim financial information is: - To enable the auditor to express a conclusion whether, on the basis of the review, anything has come to the auditor's attention that causes the auditor to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework. The auditor makes inquiries and performs analytical and other review procedures in order to reduce to a moderate level risk of expressing an inappropriate conclusion when the interim financial information is materially misstated. The objective of a review of interim financial information differs significantly from that of an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs). A review of interim financial information does not provide a basis for expressing an opinion on whether the financial information gives a true and fair view, or is presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with an applicable financial reporting framework. A review, in contrast to an audit, is not designed to obtain reasonable assurance that the interim financial information is free from material misstatement. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review may bring significant matters affecting the interim financial information to the auditor's attention, but it does not provide all of the evidence that would be required in an audit.
