Attestation Reports

Communicating Results

The content of the practitioner's report depends on the type of attestation engagement performed. Examination reports express an opinion, review reports express a conclusion with limited assurance, and agreed-upon procedures reports present factual findings without assurance.

Opinion for examinations, conclusion for reviews, findings for agreed-upon procedures.

Summary
Understanding the wording of SSAE reports is essential for distinguishing engagement types.
