What are Financial Statement Reviews?

Financial statement reviews are the next level of assurance service below a full audit. A review provides limited assurance to management as to the appropriateness of financial statements and is conducted in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the AICPA. A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is a procedures driven engagement with limited assurance provided regarding the financial statements. It is substantially smaller in scope than an audit in accordance with GAAS.
