　　7.Emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs

　　if the auditor‘s report on the complete set of F/S includes an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph that is relevant to the audit of the single F/S or the specific element，the auditor should include a similar emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph in the auditor’s report on the single F/S or specific element.

　　b.When the summary F/S are not accompanied by the audited F/S，evaluate：

　　（2）Whether the audited F/S are readily available

　　2.Form of opinion

　　The auditor may issue an unmodified opinion on an adverse opinion on the summary F/S.A qualified opinion is not appropriate due to the summarized nature of these F/S

　　The auditor should withdraw from the engagement to report on the summary F/S when the auditor‘s report on the F/S contains an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion.
