We have received from Wacker Neuson HQ a confirmation letter. Normally Wacker Neuson HQ does not confirm intercompany confirmation letters – normally we (auditors) send a confirmation on the balances. The reason for that – there are a number of controls during the consolidation process and therefore we (EY) are able to confirm the balances.
May I ask you additional questions to the confirmation letter?
- Do you need this confirmation for statutory audit purpose? If yes, why – local legal requirements / going concern issue?
- Is it any alternative possible?
- What do you mean with “in the short term”? Until one year?
Hi Karina,
I am not sure about the “confirmation letter” as your meaning.
We send the confirmation letter to all RPT at the balance sheet normally, it’s not exceptional or specially case.
For “ in the short term”, It’s mean “one year” from the ended of period.
