Owners

Owners & management

Professionally prepared financial statements give owners and management a clear, organized view of results — supporting internal decision making, budgeting, and planning.

Businesses

Companies without a full accounting function

For businesses that keep their own records but lack the time or resources to produce formal statements, a preparation engagement delivers professionally formatted financial statements — timely and cost-effectively.

Stakeholders

Third parties that don’t require a report

Some third parties simply need clear, professionally prepared financial statements without an accountant’s report. A preparation engagement meets these select purposes cost-effectively.

Preparation vs. compilation

Similar, but different options.

Level of assurance

PreparationNo assurance is provided — preparation is a nonattest service performed without a report.

CompilationNo assurance is expressed — but the statements are accompanied by a formal Compilation Report.

Procedures performed

PreparationFinancial statements are prepared from the records management provides, without procedures to verify the underlying information.

CompilationManagement-provided information is compiled into financial statement form, and the statements are read for appropriate form and obvious material misstatement.

The report

PreparationNo accountant’s report is required or issued — each page of the financial statements notes that no assurance is provided.

CompilationA Compilation Report identifying the financial statements and stating that no opinion or assurance is expressed.

When it’s the right fit

PreparationManagement needs timely, cost-effective financial statements for internal use or select third-party purposes.
