WHAT IS A REVIEW?
Your accountant makes inquiries and performs analytical procedures that are not the same as audit procedures, to support a conclusion on whether the financial statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. Your auditor performs procedures to obtain limited assurance on whether they have become aware of any matter that cause the financial statements to be materially misstated.
