There is no such thing as a "clean"audit report. There are three types of Opinions which the auditor will include in the audit report.

1. Unqualified Opinion - this means that the AFS present fairly in all material aspects of the business financial position/performance.

2. Adverse Opionion - this is where majority of the AFS are accurate but there is one area which does not present fairly / contain a material error. An explanation of the exact area and its implications will usually be added to the audit report.

3. Qualified Opinion - this means that the AFS are not accurate and do not present fairly the material aspects of the business.
