Primary function of determination of going concern lies with that of management. As per International Standard on auditing (ISA), Going Concern,

Additional Audit Procedures When Events or Conditions Are Identified

If events or conditions have been identified that may cast significant doubt on

the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the auditor shall obtain

sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether or not a material

uncertainty exists through performing additional audit procedures, including

consideration of mitigating factors. These procedures shall include: (Ref: Para.

A)

(a) Where management has not yet performed an assessment of the entity’s

ability to continue as a going concern, requesting management to make

its assessment.

(b) Evaluating management’s plans for future actions in relation to its going

concern assessment, whether the outcome of these plans is likely to

improve the situation and whether management’s plans are feasible in

the circumstances. (Ref: Para. A)

(c) Where the entity has prepared a cash flow forecast, and analysis of the

forecast is a significant factor in considering the future outcome of

events or conditions in the evaluation of management’s plans for future

action: (Ref: Para. A–A)

(i) Evaluating the reliability of the underlying data generated to

prepare the forecast; and 

Determining whether there is adequate support for the

assumptions underlying the forecast.

(d) Considering whether any additional facts or information have become

available since the date on which management made its assessment.

(e) Requesting written representations from management and, where

appropriate, those charged with governance, regarding their plans for

future action and the feasibility of these plans.
