Webcast - Compilations & Reviews: A Practical Approach

Overview: 

Public accountants tasked with generating compilations and reviews need a systematic approach to generating these documents. This targeted, one-day webcast will focus on the key factors you need to consider when putting together a compilation or review. You will:

  • Gain an in-depth review of SSARS
  • Discuss “review evidence” and review procedures
  • Identify departures between GAAP and OCBOA

 

Objective: 

To provide CPAs with the confidence to generate compilations and reviews that are thorough enough to meet professional standards, efficient enough to complete in a timely manner and effective enough to avoid deficiencies.

Emphasis: 
  • SSARS 19 overhaul of compilations and reviews
  • Recent updates and interpretations
  • Limited assurance
  • Reviews: evidence, procedures and SSARS 20
  • Disclosures regarding independence
  • Materiality
  • Documentation
  • Use of OCBOA and comparison to GAAP
  • Comparative statements
  • Management-use-only statements
