of the financial statements and the date of the auditor's report that require adjustment of, or
disclosure in, the financial statements are appropriately reflected in those financial statements;
and
(b) Respond appropriately to facts that become known to the auditor after the date of the auditor's
report, that, had they been known to the auditor at that date, may have caused the auditor to
amend the auditor's report.
