International Standard on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISA (UK and Ireland) 700, "The Independent Auditor's Report on Financial Statements (Revised June 2013)" should be read in conjunction with ISA (UK and Ireland) 200, "Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland)."

  NOTE: The FRC has not at this time adopted ISA 700 "Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements". The FRC has instead issued ISA (UK and Ireland) 700 "The Independent Auditor's Report on Financial Statements (Revised June 2013)". The main effect of this is that the form of auditor's reports may not be exactly aligned with the precise format required by ISA 700 issued by the IAASB. However, ISA (UK and Ireland) 700 (Revised June 2013) has been drafted such that compliance with it will not preclude the auditor from being able to assert compliance with the ISAs issued by the IAASB.
