Explanation:

An audit report a document containing the auditor's opinion of whether a company's financial statements comply with Generally Accepted Accounting principles

The audit report validates a company's credit worthiness.

Every company should aim for at the worst case scenario, a clean or qualified opinion.

A qualified opinion means that although a company didn't follow the proper accounting standards, the company didn't do anything wrong.
