Compilation & Review Engagements

Questions owners ask

All frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a compilation and a review?

A compilation involves preparing financial statements based on information and explanations provided by management, with inquiries as needed. No assurance is provided. A review goes further. It includes analytical procedures and more extensive inquiries, and the CPA issues a limited assurance report.

How do I know which one I need?

It depends on who is requesting the statements and what they require. Most private businesses need a compilation. If your lender or investor specifically asks for reviewed financial statements or limited assurance, then a review engagement is required. We can help you determine the right level.

How is this priced?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your business and the type of engagement. We provide a clear quote before any work begins.

Do I need this if I already file a T2?

A T2 is your corporate tax return filed with the CRA. Compiled or reviewed financial statements are separate. They're prepared for lenders, investors, partners, or governance purposes. Some businesses need both.

How long does it take?

A compilation typically takes up to one week and a review up to two weeks. In both cases, the timeline depends on how quickly we receive your documentation.
