Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Balance sheet is closed but stories keep unfolding
Subsequent events demand our sharp attention
Type One needs adjusting when material findings
Shed new light on old conditions we've been holding

[Chorus]
After balance sheet the clock keeps ticking on
Subsequent events til audit report's drawn
Type One adjusts, Type Two discloses facts
Going concern assessment guards against collapse

[Verse 2]
Settlement of litigation shows the actual loss
Bankruptcy of customers proves their doubtful debts
Fire destroys inventory at substantial cost
These Type Two events need disclosure not correction yet

[Chorus]
After balance sheet the clock keeps ticking on
Subsequent events til audit report's drawn
Type One adjusts, Type Two discloses facts
Going concern assessment guards against collapse

[Verse 3]
Going concern assumption spans twelve months ahead
Can this entity survive its obligations whole
Cash flows, debt covenants, management's thread
Substantial doubt requires disclosure of our role

[Bridge]
Written representations from the client's hand
Active inquiry procedures we must command
Review minutes, legal letters, interim statements grand
Till audit report date we scan and understand

[Chorus]
After balance sheet the clock keeps ticking on
Subsequent events til audit report's drawn
Type One adjusts, Type Two discloses facts
Going concern assessment guards against collapse

[Outro]
Five-sixty and five-seventy guide our way
CAS standards for the post-balance sheet day
