the auditor has refrained from giving an opinion


Explanation:
"Onthouden" betekent in deze context "niet afgeven" of "weigeren om een oordeel te geven"
Waar in het Nederlands volstaan kan worden met één term, zou hier in het Engels een hele omschrijvende zin aan gewijd moeten worden.

Bij nader inzien bestaat er inderdaad een beknoptere term:
denial of opinion of disclaimer of opinion
