Detailed Solution & Explanation
Correct Answer: Option **A**
Explanation:
Under SA 570 (Revised), "Going Concern":
If the auditor concludes that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate but a material uncertainty exists regarding the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the auditor must check if the disclosure of this uncertainty in the notes to the accounts is adequate.
If the disclosure is adequate, the auditor shall express an unmodified opinion and include a separate section under the heading **"Material uncertainty related to Going Concern"** in the auditor's report to:
1. Draw attention to the note in the financial statements that discloses these matters; and
2. State that these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and that the auditor’s opinion is not modified in respect of the matter.
Thus, the auditor should address this by including a separate section under the heading "Material uncertainty related to Going Concern" in the auditor's report as per SA 570.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
