Misstatement in previous year financials

Auditing

What the current auditor should do if he/she finds a misstatement in closing balance of previous year financials? What will be the impact in current year financials?

As per SA 510 If the auditor concludes that the financial statements contain a material misstatement in the opening balances , that is pervasive to the users he/she can express a qualified opinion or an adverse opinion.

Ma'am, Whether it can be rectified in current year financials by passing necessary journal entry?

The auditor will give a qualified or adverse opinion if the misstatement is not rectified in current year financials. Am I correct sir?
