Understanding Financial Statement Reviews

  • A financial statement review is less extensive than an audit but more comprehensive than a compilation. It involves applying analytical procedures to your association’s financial data and making inquiries of management. The goal is to identify any material modifications needed for the financial statements to conform with GAAP.

  • It’s important to note that a review does not provide an opinion on the financial statements. Instead, it offers limited assurance that no material changes are necessary.
