Audit

An audit provides the highest level of assurance where the auditor issues an opinion about whether the company’s financial statements are free from material misstatements. This is a methodical review and objective examination of financial statements, including the verification of specific information as determined by the auditor, or as established by the general practice.

A review provides limited assurance. This is a service where the auditor obtains limited assurance that there are no material modifications that need to be made to the company’s financial statements for them to be in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework. This might be a good middle ground without the work and expense of an audit.

A compilation provides the lowest level of assurance. The auditor presents information as represented by management and express no opinion or assurance on the financial statements. These services are typically required by lenders as part of their lending covenants.
