Compilations and Financial Reporting
A compilation performed by a qualified accounting professional can make the difference between making educated guesses based on gut feelings and making informed managerial decisions that will enable your future success.
What is a Financial Statement Compilation?
A compilation is the lowest level of assurance services and is limited to presenting, in the form of financial statements, information which is valuable to management. A compilation involves taking provided financial information that has been collected over a reporting period and organizing the information into financial statements that are helpful to management. Common financial statement methods of accounting used for compilations include accrual basis, cash basis, and income tax basis. A compilation assumes the data provided is accurate, but assures that the information provided is compiled accurately in the method that will be the most meaningful to your business.
How can a Compilation Help Your Business?
Your historical financial performance can provide tremendous value to your managerial decision making. While accurately collecting and recording the right financial information is essential, it is also critical that accounting information is organized and presented to management in a format that will bring value to their decision-making process. A financial statement compilation involves using standards set forth by the AICPA to organize and communicate critical financial information.
