What is qualified and unqualified report?
The most frequent type of report is referred to as the Unqualified Opinion, and is regarded by many as the equivalent of a "clean bill of health" to a patient,[2] which has led many to call it the Clean Opinion. This type of report is issued by an auditor when the financial statements presented are free of material misstatements and are in accordance with GAAP, which in other words means that the company's financial condition, position, and operations are fairly presented in the financial statements. It is the best type of report an auditee may receive from an external auditor. A Qualified Opinion report is issued when the auditor encountered one of two types of situations which do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, however the rest of the financial statements are fairly presented. This type of opinion is very similar to an unqualified or "clean opinion", but the report states that the financial statements are fairly presented with a certain exception which is otherwise misstated. The two types of situations which would cause an auditor to issue this opinion over the Unqualified opinion are: * Single deviation from GAAP - this type of qualification occurs when one or more areas of the financial statements do not conform with GAAP (e.g. are misstated), but do not affect the rest of the financial statements from being fairly presented when taken as a whole. Examples of this include a company dedicated to a retail business that did not correctly calculate the depreciation expense of its building. Even if this expense is considered material, since the rest of the financial statements do conform with GAAP, then the auditor qualifies the opinion by describing the depreciation misstatement in the report and continues to issue a clean opinion on the rest of the financial statements. * Scope of limitation - this type of qualification occurs when the auditor could not audit one or more areas of the financial statements, and although they could not be verified, the rest of the financial statements were audited and they conform GAAP. Examples of this include an auditor not being able to observe and test a company's inventory of goods. If the auditor audited the rest of the financial statements and is reasonably sure that they conform with GAAP, then the auditor simply states that the financial statements are fairly presented, with the exception of the inventory which could not be audited.

Why an auditor should not prepare the financial statement and then express an opinion Also the standards to which this relates?
The auditor is the person who assesses whether the financial statement has been prepared accordingly or not. Firstly it is not the role of the auditor to prepare the financial statement as the auditor has to form an independent opinion. Secondly, it would be part of internal control and corporate governance activities for the preparation of the financial statement and the audit to be conducted be two separate parties to eliminate error or fraud.

What is the impact of a company financial Statements if it is not prepared on the assumption that an enterprise is a going concern?
A going concern is an accounting assumption that states that a business will stay in operation for the foreseeable future. When the financial statements are not prepared for the annual report, it is the responsible of the Board of Directors must put this information into the footnotes to the financial statements and state any factors that may threaten that status. Further, the fact that the business is not a going concern means that it can not pay its liabilities and realize its assets. The company's auditor is responsible to the Board of Directors and must determine whether or not the company is still a going concern. The auditor is required to disclose any negative trends in the company's business operations. Negative trends would be lower operating income, loan denials, loan defaults, repossession of assets, and more. The auditor then must not issue a "going concern opinion." Investors may have second thoughts about holding the stock of the company if an auditor does not issue a going concern opinion in the annual report.
