a. A scope limitation prevents the auditor from completing an important audit procedure. b. The auditor lacks independence with respect to the audited entity. c. The auditor's report refers to the work of a specialist. d. An accounting principle at variance with GAAP is used. Explanation Choice "b" is correct. If the auditor lacks independence with respect to an audit client, the auditor must disclaim an opinion on the financial statements. A qualified opinion is not an option. Choice "d" is incorrect. A departure from GAAP (which is not sufficiently material to warrant an adverse opinion) may justify a qualification of the auditor's report. Choice "a" is incorrect. A scope limitation may result in a qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion. Choice "c" is incorrect. The auditor's report may make reference to the use of a specialist only if the specialist's findings result in a change to the auditor's report, such as a qualified opinion.
