5. Previous  Year  Audit  Opinion  Towards  Going  Concern  Audit
Opinion
Mutchler  1984  states  that  the  company  which  receiving  going concern audit opinion on the previous year were more likely to receive
the  same  opinion  in  the  current  year.  This  is  because  when  the auditors  give  going  concern  audit  opinion  on  the  previous  year,  the
company  is  is  considered  have  problems  in  going  concern  so  that auditors tend to give a going concern audit opinion back in the current
year.  Based  on  the  empirical  evidence,  there  is  a  significant  positive correlation  between  going  concern  opinion  previous  years  with  going
concern audit opinion for the year. If in previous years the auditor has issued a going concern audit opinion, the auditor will be more likely to
re-issue going concern audit opinion on the current year. H
