Opus West filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Nothing unusual about that these days but
what issues does this raise for the outside auditor? What will fair value be? What is an empty office building in a recession worth? What would you want the owners to guarantee if you were the outside auditor?
Another dimension of the outside audit is client selection. Would you want Opus as a client?
What is a super priority lien in bankruptcy court? Would you know to ask for one?
Are you familiar with the fair value rules, impairment tests?
This auditing thing is getting a lot more difficult.
