Actually, the answer is C) Disclaimer, as auditors are hesitant to provide a clear opinion in such cases.

I agree with Shawn, D) Reversal opinion does not align with auditor's opinions.

I don't think D is a valid opinion expressed by auditors. It must be something else.

I don't know, you guys. What if it's a trick question and they're trying to see if we know all the possible opinions? Maybe we're missing something here.

Yeah, that's got to be the answer. I mean, the other three are legitimate audit opinions, but 'reversal opinion'? Come on, that's just made up.

Exactly. And the question is asking which one is not an actual opinion expressed by auditors. So, it's gotta be that 'reversal opinion' nonsense, right?

Okay, let's think this through. We've got the classic options: unqualified, qualified, and disclaimer. Those are the ones we need to know inside and out.

Haha, right? I bet the exam writers just wanted to see who would fall for that one. Gotta keep us on our toes, I guess.

This is a tricky one! I mean, who even comes up with these 'reversal opinion' options? That's not a real thing, is it?
