Answer 1

Answer: d. A statement that the financial statements are the responsibility of the client's management

Explanation:

The new reporting standard (AS 3101) requires auditor's opinion on the financial statements to be moved to the first paragraph of the Audit report, Requires the Auditor to use section titles to identify and highlight important information, Requires an Auditor to provide a clear clarification that the audit scope includes notes to the financial statement, and also the Auditor is required to disclose the year they began serving consecutively as the company's auditors.

A statement that the financial statements are the responsibility of the client's management is NOT part of changes brought by AS 3101
