Prospective financial information is the management’s estimate of future results and is based on evidence which is generally future-oriented and speculative in nature. The auditor will not be able to express an opinion if those results will be achieved or if they are free from material misstatement. Therefore per SAE 3400, the auditor can provide only a moderate level of assurance on the reasonableness of management’s assumptions.
