In performing a review of the financial statements, my report provides limited assurance stating material changes to the statements are not necessary. However, the financial statements are management's responsibility. All appropriate disclosures are included in the reviewed statements. I will obtain working knowledge of your industry and acquire information on key aspects of your organization, including operating methods, products and services, and material transactions with related parties. Inquiries concerning financial statement related matters will be made. Analytical procedures will also be applied. In many instances, a review - with its limited assurance - is adequate. If more assurance is required, a certified audit may be necessary.

An audit provides the highest level of assurance. An audit is planned and performed with an attitude of professional skepticism. Confirmations with outside parties, observation of inventories and testing selected transactions by examining supporting documents are performed. An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance that significant errors or fraud are detected. An audit does not, however, provide a guarantee of accuracy.
