The document defines subsequent events and after balance sheet events. Subsequent events occur between the date of the financial statements and the auditor's report date, while after balance sheet events occur between the reporting date and the date the financial statements are authorized for issue. Adjusting subsequent events require adjustments to the financial statements, like the settlement of a court case, while non-adjusting events require disclosure only, like a decline in inventory market values. The document provides examples of adjusting and non-adjusting events and outlines procedures auditors use to identify subsequent events.
