Plain-language guide
- Audit
- The highest level of assurance. The auditor gathers evidence to give an opinion on whether the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.
- Review
- A lower (limited) level of assurance, based mainly on inquiry and analysis. Reviews are often accepted by lenders and smaller organizations when an audit is not required.
What to do next
Let us know your organization type, your year-end and what level of assurance is required. If you only need financial statements prepared without assurance, see Business Accounting.
