Describe what opinion they should issue in each case and any explanatory paragraphs or modifications to the standard report that could be necessary. If more than one opinion is possible, describe the two that could be used and how you would select the correct one.
a. The company has a $12 million loan due next year. It will not have the funds to repay the loan and could find refinancing it difficult.
