Learningrx Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
- 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 LearningRx Franchise Corporation'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 our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about LearningRx Franchise Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the auditors are responsible for evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. This ensures that the financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The audit aims to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Specifically, the auditors must exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. They 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. These procedures include examining evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements on a test basis.
Furthermore, the auditors obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit to design appropriate audit procedures, although they do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Learningrx's internal control. The auditors also conclude whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about Learningrx's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Finally, they are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters identified during the audit.
