Final answer:
If the auditor believes that an uncertainty will not have a material effect on financial statements, they will issue an unqualified opinion.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the auditor believes that there is minimal likelihood that resolution of an uncertainty will have a material effect on the financial statements, the auditor would issue an unqualified/unmodified opinion.
An unqualified/unmodified opinion is issued when the auditor has determined that the financial statements are presented fairly and in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
In this case, the auditor believes that the uncertainty does not have a significant impact on the financial statements, so there is no need to modify the opinion.
