Prepared Financial Statement
The ability to have your firm participate within the Prepared Financial Statement has and will continue to be a gracious gift. An engagement to prepare financial statements is a non-attest service and does not require a determination about whether the accountant is independent of the entity nor does it require the accountant to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by management or otherwise gather evidence to express an opinion or a conclusion on the financial statements or otherwise report on the financial statements.
The only substantive difference between a preparation and a compilation engagement are that in a preparation the accountant does not prepare a report and does not consider independence.
