6. Previous Year Audit Opinion
The audit opinion previous years is the audit opinion that auditee received in the previous year or one year before the
research of the independent auditor. The audit opinion can be divided into 2 of the going concern audit opinion and non-going
concern audit opinion. Going concern audit opinion previous years can be considered
to reissue the auditors opinion on the audit next year. 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.
