If there is a material inconsistency in other information in the annual report, the auditor should consider what further action is warranted, which may include making contact with the audit committee to ensure that they are aware of the inconsistency. The auditor should not issue an adverse or qualified opinion solely due to a material inconsistency in the other information, as it does not relate to the financial statements. Withdrawing from future engagements or issuing an unqualified opinion would not be appropriate responses to a material inconsistency in other information.
