We Generate All 3 Types of Accounting Audit Statements
Auditing and other financial review reporting come in varying shapes and sizes depending on the scope of engagement our clients need. Sometimes, audit requirements come from creditors, investors, or other businesses our clients transact with. In either case, we are attentive to the precise needs of every audit situation so that we can provide efficient and cost-effective service. Generally, our audit services range in complexity and detail, from simple compilations to comprehensive audits.
Compiled Financial Statements
Compiled Financial Statements are the most basic level of reporting that we provide as CPAs. They meet basic professional standard requirements of accounting principles and help gain an understanding of the client’s industry. Here, one of our primary tasks is checking for any compliance issues with standard accounting principles or departures from the entity’s own methods of accounting.
Reviewed Financial Statements
Reviewed Financial Statements go a step beyond Compiled Financial Statements with additional rounds of review and evaluation. The extra step is necessary because the report issued from a Reviewed Financial Statement provides an expression of “limited assurance” about the quality of the organization’s accounting methods.
In other words, the report states that the CPA did not notice a need for material changes to the organization’s methods to conform with standard accounting principles.
Audited Financial Statements
Audited Financial Statements represent a CPA’s most comprehensive assurance known as “positive assurance”. Here, the CPA completes the same requirements as in Compiled and Reviewed Financial Statements but with added protocols to confirm the correctness and legitimacy of accounts. Some common examples of these efforts include:
- Direct correspondence with lenders and debtors to confirm balances
- Personal review of inventories and other assets
- Review of company meeting minutes and key contracts
The CPA will obtain knowledge about the audited entity’s system of accounting to claim that the financial statements fairly represent the entity’s financial position.
