Washington, D.C. For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard- working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money. –P. J. O’Rourke

Attestation & Assurance Services  Compliance  Unaudited Financial Statements  Internal Control Reporting  Interim Financial Information  Prospective Financial Statements  New Services

Attestation  AICPA Statement on Attestation Standards –“Attestation results in a written communication that expresses a conclusion about the reliability of a written assertion that is the responsibility of another party” –Positive assurance: conclusion based on an examination which provides positive, but not absolute assurance. –Negative Assurance: conclusion based on a review which provides negative, and limited, assurance

Attestation Preconditions  Practitioner is independent and has adequate training & proficiency as well as subject matter knowledge  Reasonable measurement and disclosure criteria exist  The assertions are susceptible to reasonably consistent estimation or measurement using the criteria

Attestation vs. Auditing Standards  Internal Control usually not relevant  GAAP not relevant  Identity of Assertions & the nature of the engagement  Distribution restrictions  TABLE 15.5 (pp )

Compliance Attestation  May be Audits  More often apply “agreed upon procedures”  Laws & Regulations –FDIC –EPA –Dept. of Education, Agriculture, etc.

Unaudited Financial Statements: Public Companies  CPA should disclaim an opinion (unaudited) when: –CPA’s name is used –CPA has prepared or assisted in preparing the statements  “The accompanying balance sheet and related statements of...were not audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them”

Compilation & Reviews: Nonpublic Companies  Compilation –Prepare financial statements based upon client supplied data  Review –More than a compilation, less than an audit –Consists of inquiry & analytic procedures –Excludes internal control evaluation, confirmations, & other tests

Prospective Financial Statements  CPA compiles, examines, or applies agreed upon procedures to prospective financial statements: –Forecast: expected financial position, results of operations, and cash flow reflecting conditions expected to exist –Projection: financial position, income, and cash flows, under hypothetical assumptions.

New Services  Other Applications Are Being Created in the Competitive Marketplace  Examples: –AICPA Web Trust –Gambling Industry Certifications –Eldercare Certifications & Services
