Levels of Assurance
Audits
An audit provides the highest level of assurance that your financial statements are free from material misstatement and conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Audited financial statements are the only type of report to include an express opinion about whether the financial statements are fairly presented and conform with GAAP.
Reviews
Next are reviewed financial statements, which provide limited assurance that the statements are free from material misstatement and conform with GAAP. The accountant isn’t required to evaluate internal controls, verify information with a third party, or physically inspect assets.
Compilation
Compilations rely on data provided by management. They provide no assurance that financial statements are free from material misstatement and conform with GAAP. Instead, the financial information that management creates is presented in GAAP financial statement format.
