At what point do client-imposed audit scope limitations affect the type of audit opinion issued?

It depends. In some cases, scope limitations can be "worked around" and a different audit procedure can accomplish the same objective. When that happens, there is no affect on the type of audit opinion. In other cases, the scope limitation will relate to an area that is not material to the financial statements. Again, no affect on the opinion. However - some scope limitations can prevent the auditor from gaining audit evidence to support an unqualified (clean) opinion. If that happens in a significant area, the audit opinion may have to be a "disclaimer." This is determined by the auditor in the specific situation.
