Except for the accounting supervisor, whose service period exceeds 4 years, the average service period of the other personnel is less than 2 years.

04 Task
Information ABC Accounting Firm has accepted the entrustment of a manufacturing company on December 6 to audit its annual financial statements. The general manager of the company said that the company had conducted a comprehensive inventory inventory on November 25. However, because Ma Mou, a certified public accountant from M Accounting Firm who had been engaged in the company's annual audit over the years, had resigned, the inventory inventory on November 25 had not yet been completed. According to on-site observation by a certified public accountant, Ma's resignation was also the main reason why the company changed its entrustment to ABC Firm. The general manager of the company did not agree to stop work again to take inventory because the delivery date of the products was approaching, but all the information in the inventory on November 25 was available for review. Certified public accountants from ABC Accounting Firm had an in-depth understanding of and tested the internal control of the company's inventory and believed it to be relatively sound and effective; they checked the company's inventory data in detail, and on December 31, they took a count of approximately 10% of the total inventory value. For 10% of the projects, the perpetual inventory records of selected projects were traced, and no major differences were found. On December 31, the company's total assets were 27 million yuan, with inventory reaching 13 million yuan.
Requirement: If no material misstatement is found in the audit of other items in the financial statements, can the CPA issue an unqualified audit report? Please explain whether the CPA issues an unqualified or non-unqualified audit report Reasons for reporting.
Answer
Reference answer:
In this case, the CPA cannot issue an unqualified audit report. Because observing the inventory count of the audited unit is the most important step in the inventory audit, the audited unit does not agree to the CPA's implementation of the inventory. When the inventory accounts for a considerable proportion of total assets, it can be considered a major restriction on the scope of the audit. The audited unit has conducted its own inventory on November 25, and the delivery date of the audited unit is approaching. This cannot be an excuse for the CPA to be unable to observe the inventory count audit procedures of the audited unit. The unit under audit should change the entrustment before November 25 so that the certified public accountants of ABC Accounting Firm can observe the inventory count on November 25. At the same time, ABC Accounting Firm should pay attention to the change of entrustment of the audited unit to avoid fraud. Because Ma's resignation is not enough to cause the audited unit to change its entrustment to another accounting firm, ABC Accounting Firm should insist on implementing inventory supervision again. . It can be arranged on or after December 31, otherwise an unqualified audit report shall not be issued.

The management of ABC Company told the auditors that because the net realizable value of the inventory was difficult to determine, the inventory was valued at cost at the end of the period, and the auditors found that there were signs of impairment in its inventory.
Please analyze and answer the following questions based on the above materials:
