Reviews
A review, while less in scope than an audit, provides the users of your financial statements with some assurance that no material modifications need to be made to your financial statements as presented. Our review procedures include inquiries of management and developing predictive tests to achieve this goal.
We also review your financial statements for the proper presentation and disclosure required under generally accepted accounting principles.
Compilations
Compilations are the most basic level of service provided by the CPA. At this level, the CPA assists in presenting information in financial statements without seeking or finding any assurances.
The fundamental differences between these three services are the degree with which the CPA seeks assurance and the level of due diligence they go through.
