During the conduct of an audit, auditors may identify misstatements as a result of the completion of their substantive procedures. An important activity performed in the completion stages of the audit is considering the materiality of misstatements identified during the audit.Required:a. What is an uncorrected misstatement? What is the auditors’ responsibility for uncorrected misstatements during the completion stage of the audit engagement?b. How do auditors use the rollover method and iron curtain method to evaluate uncorrected misstatements?c.
