A CPA may perform various attest services under relevant professional standards, including compilations, reviews and audits. Reviews and audits are also considered assurance services, providing either limited or reasonable assurance that financial statements are free of material misstatement. In addition, the CPA may perform non-attest services, such as bookkeeping or preparation of financial statements. CPAs must fully understand the professional responsibilities related to each of these varying levels of services, in order to effectively and efficiently satisfy engagement objectives.
Major Topics:
- Compare and contrast the basis and requirements of preparing financial statements, compilations, reviews, and audits

I agree that this course is helpful! But I have the same question as Audit Staff from Jan 4, 2024. The exam question about reasonable assurance has an incorrect answer. Should be audit only.
