Types of reports issued by licensed public accountant
​
Audit - Highest Level of Assurance
An audit provides the highest level of assurance. An audit is a methodical review and objective examination of the financial statements, including the verification of specific information as determined by the chartered accountants firm or as established by general practice.
Our work includes a review of internal controls, testing of selected transactions, and communication with third parties. Based on findings, chartered accountants firm issues report on whether the financial statements are fairly stated and free of material misstatements.
Our audit clients include condominium corporations, private colleges, not-for profit organizations and various private corporations located in Vaughan, Mississauga, North York, Richmond Hill and Toronto.
​
Review - Limited Assurance
Less extensive than an audit, but more involved than a compilation, a review engagement consists primarily of analytical procedures we apply to the financial statements, and various inquiries we make of your company's management team. If the financial statements or supporting information appear inconsistent or otherwise questionable, we may need to perform additional procedures.
A review doesn't require us to study and evaluate your company's internal controls or verify data with third parties or physically inspect assets. Rather, a review report issued by Chartered Professional Accountants expresses limited assurance in the form of the statement: "We are not aware of any material modifications" for the financial statements to be in conformity with the Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises. Reviewed financial statements must include all required footnotes and other disclosures.
Our review clients include not-for profit organizations, travel agencies and other private corporations based in Vaughan, York Region and Toronto.
