Review Of Financials
The primary goal of a financial statement review is to enhance the credibility of the financial statements, which can be useful for management, investors, creditors, and other stakeholders. It is often used by smaller companies or those that do not require a full audit.

Inquiry and Analytical Procedures: Accountants make inquiries of company management and apply analytical procedures to the financial statements. This can include reviewing financial ratios and trends, comparing the current year to prior years, and comparing the company's performance to industry benchmarks.
-
Limited Assurance: Unlike an audit, a review provides limited assurance. This means the expresses an opinion on the financial statements stating nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe the financial statements are not in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework.
-
Review Report: At the conclusion of a review, the accountant issues a review report, which includes a statement of limited assurance and describes the nature and scope of the review procedures performed.
