Explanation:

The basis for an audit opinion is the evidence obtained by the auditor, who performs the audit procedures to gather such evidence. Generally, the auditor examines evidence based on selective evidence. In carrying out the audit tests, the auditor evaluates the appropriateness of the accounting principles used, the significant accounting estimates made, as well as the complete presentation of the financial statements.

The auditor should use his professional judgment in conjunction with his knowledge of the specific circumstances of the Company to determine, what tests to apply, when to apply them and how much to submit to tests.
