What happens if actual results differ from the estimates made by Dryject's management in the preparation of financial statements?

Dryject Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about DryJect Management, LLC's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, I:

  • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of DryJect Management, LLC's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
  • Conclude whether, in my judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Dry Ject Management, LLC's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

I am required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that I identified during the audit.

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the independent auditor's report addresses the responsibilities of both the management and the auditor in relation to the financial statements. Management is responsible for preparing and fairly presenting the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including designing, implementing, and maintaining internal controls to ensure the statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Management must also evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about DryJect's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.

The auditor's role is to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report including their opinion. The auditor's assurance is high, but not absolute, and there's a risk that a material misstatement may not be detected. The auditor exercises professional judgment, assesses risks of material misstatement, examines evidence, understands internal controls (without expressing an opinion on their effectiveness), evaluates accounting policies and estimates, and concludes on DryJect's ability to continue as a going concern.

If actual results differ from Dryject's management estimates, and these differences lead to material misstatements in the financial statements, the auditor is responsible for detecting these misstatements through their audit procedures. Material misstatements are those likely to influence the judgment of a reasonable user of the financial statements. If the auditor identifies material misstatements, they are required to communicate these findings to those charged with governance. This communication includes the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters identified during the audit. Ultimately, the auditor's opinion reflects whether the financial statements present fairly Dryject's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles.
