Checklist: Notice To Reader
May 30, 2007 | Information Checklist | Leave a Comment
Summary Of Service
I will prepare unaudited annual financial statements, usually in either a bound or unbound format. The financial statements may be either computerized statements, or formal ‘typed’-looking statements. There may or may not any Notes to The Financial Statements. A NOTICE TO READER is a ‘Compilation Engagement’. I generally receive information supplied by the client and arrange it to form a financial statement. My concern is that the information is arithmetically correct, not false or misleading. The Notice to Reader includes a comment that “I have not audited, reviewed or otherwise attempted to verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for their purposes.” Engagements will include tax planning, correspondence (if necessary) with Canada Revenue Agency, and filing a Corporation T2 Income Tax Return.

Checklist: Review Engagement
May 30, 2007 | Information Checklist | Leave a Comment
Summary Of Service
I will prepare unaudited annual financial statements, usually in either a bound or unbound format. The financial statements will be formal ‘typed’-looking statements, and contain Notes to the Financial Statements. A REVIEW ENGAGEMENT is a higher level of professional involvement, and there will be significantly more information that will be required, as well as unique informational requirements for your particular business. In a Review Engagement, the objective is to review the financial statements to determine whether they are plausible in the circumstances. Generally, review procedures consist of enquiries of, and discussions with, company personnel and consideration of ratios, trends, etc. to assess the overall plausibility of the financial statements. Engagements will include tax planning, correspondence (if necessary) with Canada Revenue Agency, and filing a Corporation T2 Income Tax Return. Read more

Checklist: Audit
May 30, 2007 | Information Checklist | Leave a Comment
Summary Of Service
An audit engagement is the highest level of professional involvement, including the application of generally accepted auditing standards in support of each significant financial statement item. Audits are required only in very specific circumstances which usually do not apply to private corporations. An Audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An Audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall financial statement presentation.
