Qualified audit opinon is given when the auditor concludes that unqualified audit opinion is not appropriate in the circumstances but the effect of disagreement with management, or scope limitation, is not so material and pervasive to warrant an adverse or disclaimer of opinion. A qualified opinon is expresed as being 'except for' the effects of matter which the qaulifiaction relates.

A qualified report is one in which the auditor concludes that most matters have been dealt with adequately, except for a few issues. An auditor’s report is qualified when there is either a limitation of scope in the auditor’s work, or when there is a disagreement with management regarding application, acceptability or adequacy of accounting policies.  The opinion embodies the assumptions that your business observed compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and statutory requirements.   For auditors an issue must be material or financially worth consideration to qualify a report. The issue should not be pervasive, that is, the issue should not misrepresent the factual financial position. If issues are material and pervasive, the auditor issues a disclaimer or adverse opinion. A qualified audit report does not mean that your business is suffering, and it doesn't mean that your financial statement isn't transparent. It merely reflects the auditor’s inability to give a clean report.

the report which includes all the details in a proper manner and does not require any kind of editing on it 

so that once it can be presented towards the representatives or seniors they can easily understand and no need to ask anything
