The Accounting Review is a comprehensive journal that covers a wide range of topics related to accounting. Published bi-monthly by the American Accounting Association, it welcomes article submissions from both members and non-members of the association. The journal was first launched in 1926 by William Andrew Paton.
When we conduct a financial review, we carefully examine a nonprofit’s financial statements to ensure they are accurate and free of errors. However, our review does not extend to an in-depth analysis of the organization’s internal controls. The report we provide will highlight any necessary adjustments, but it’s important to understand that a review does not offer a professional opinion on the nonprofit’s overall financial health.
The key difference between a review and an audit is the level of scrutiny. Audits involve independent verification of financial information, providing a higher level of assurance. Reviews, on the other hand, are less detailed and more affordable. While they don’t offer the same level of assurance as an audit, reviews are often a preferred choice for startups and high-growth organizations with limited resources. Think of a review as a cost-effective snapshot of your financial situation, rather than a thorough examination.
The issue with a review is that it provides only limited assurance and is much narrower in scope compared to an audit. In a review, the CPA firm performs analytical procedures, inquiries, and other procedures only as necessary, based on their understanding of the industry and the client. Unlike an audit, a review does not involve examining the entity’s internal control system or assessing the risk of fraud—areas that may be of particular concern to bankers and investors involved in lending or providing capital.
