For example, the auditor can involve other auditor to observation of carrying out inventory count or inspection of physical availability of fixed assets in the remote divisions.
3. In from otvetstviya with the laws, regulations or owing to other reasons from the auditor of component expression of opinion of the auditor concerning the financial reporting of component can be required. The team of the auditor of group can make the decision on use of auditor proofs which are the basis for expression of opinion of the auditor on the financial reporting of component, as auditor proofs for the purposes of audit of group, however requirements of this standard anyway shall be applied (see Item A 1).
