Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the audit's clean but there's something more to say
An emphasis paragraph shows the proper way
Material matters that are properly disclosed
But users need attention where their focus should be posed
Independence stays intact, opinion remains the same
Just highlighting what's important in this accounting game

[Chorus]
Emphasis matters, draw their eyes
Other information, scrutinize
Read and compare, identify
Inconsistencies that might arise
EOM paragraphs, clearly stated
Other info obligations navigated

[Verse 2]
Going concern uncertainties need emphasis today
Subsequent events that happened after year-end's way
Related party transactions of significant size
Key audit matters when required by the guidelines
Place it right after the opinion paragraph ends
Before the basis section, that's where emphasis extends

[Chorus]
Emphasis matters, draw their eyes
Other information, scrutinize
Read and compare, identify
Inconsistencies that might arise
EOM paragraphs, clearly stated
Other info obligations navigated

[Verse 3]
Annual reports contain more than financial statements
Management discussion, sustainability commitments
Other information that accompanies the core
Read it all and compare, that's what we're looking for
Material inconsistencies must be addressed
Misstatements of fact cannot be left unredressed

[Bridge]
Read, compare, and evaluate
Nothing should be left to fate
If management won't make the change
Other information section, rearrange
Withdraw from the engagement if you must
Professional standards, always trust

[Chorus]
Emphasis matters, draw their eyes
Other information, scrutinize
Read and compare, identify
Inconsistencies that might arise
EOM paragraphs, clearly stated
Other info obligations navigated

[Outro]
From emphasis to other info responsibilities
CPA standards guide our capabilities
Clear communication, that's our goal
Professional judgment plays its role
