Financial Statements - Audits, Reviews and Compilations
Audits, reviews and compilations are services designed to help you provide
financial statements that show the financial results of your business at a level
of assurance that fits your situation.
Audits
result in an independent CPA firm’s expression of
an opinion on whether the company’s financial statements are presented
fairly. These are generally required by outside parties, such as investors,
creditors, lenders or regulatory agencies seeking significant assurance
about the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of your
business.
Reviews
result in a report where the CPA provides
“negative assurance” regarding the fairness of financial statements. The
report states that the accountants are not aware of any modifications that
would be necessary to make the financial statements fairly presented.
Reviewed financial statements are often used by businesses to report their
financial position, results of operations and cash flows to third parties
where audits aren't required.
Compilations
result in an accountant’s report stating they have compiled the financial
statements, but do not provide any assurance on the fairness of the
financial statements presented. Compilations are favored by businesses that
do not require audits or reviews because the users are comfortable with the
financial information provided without any assurance from the CPA.
