Trusted Burlington Accountants Delivering High-Quality Review Engagements

There are times when a business or franchise doesn’t require the same detail and level of assurance that comes from an extensive audit. Whether an audit is unnecessary or waived by shareholders, a review engagement still provides business owners and decision-makers with limited assurance showing that financial statements are true and meet accounting standards.

Our experienced and highly knowledgeable Chartered Professional Accountants are committed to helping our clients achieve their business and financial goals by delivering comprehensive, modern strategies.

Review Engagements to Help Guide Your Business

A review engagement—also called a limited assurance or negative engagement—provides limited assurance of a business or franchise’s financial statements as to their accuracy and reporting of whether those statements comply with accounting standards.

While an audit delivers the highest level of assurance, examining samples of all documentation to ensure the accuracy and veracity of financial information, a review engagement delivers a far more limited level of assurance through inquiry and analysis. A review is an assessment of financial statements, ensuring they are true and compliant with accounting standards. Review engagements typically take less time and cost less, as they do not require the same level of detail as an audit.

A review engagement works to increase confidence in financial statements for investors, shareholders, and creditors. Whenever business owners, decision-makers, or anyone outside your company is making a decision based on financial statements, you should strongly consider a review engagement.
