In the beginning, CPA practitioners offered two types of attest services: audits and unaudited engagements. Auditors had plenty of authoritative guidance for choosing their auditing procedures and issuing reports but minimal guidance on performing and reporting on their unaudited engagements. In a landmark litigation in the 1960s, a CPA practitioner failed to detect an obvious fraud, ultimately leading to the AICPA creating well-defined, positive standards that birthed the Compilation and Review services in 1978.

Major subjects

  • General Principles applicable to all SSARS engagements
  • Compilations
  • Reviews
  • Preparations

Learning objectives

  • Review the evolution of the Compilation and Review standards into its current SSARS 21 format
  • Examine the key requirements of Sections 60-90 of SSARS 21 to support its practical application in performing Compilations, Reviews and Preparations
