Learning Objective

  • To understand the alternative engagements that may be entered when associated with financial statements of a nonpublic entity.
  • To determine when it is best to perform a preparation engagement in accordance with SSARS or a bookkeeping engagement.
  • To explore all requirements of standards for performing engagements subject to SSARS.
  • To ensure documentation for SSARS engagements is adequate.
  • To identify circumstances calling for modified compilation and review reports.

Course Overview

SSARS 21 changed the landscape for CPAs associated with the unaudited financial statements of nonpublic entities. The accountant may no longer prepare a client’s financial statements or footnotes without affecting independence. In addition, there is a new alternative, the SSARS preparation engagement.  Unfortunately, many accountants are not certain when they should perform compilation, preparation, or perform bookkeeping services. In addition, many CPAs are not aware of the ethical implications of preparing financial statements in anticipation of a compilation, review, or audit.

This Online CPE Webinar on Accounting will cover the following Key Topics:

  • An overview of SSARS, including recent amendments
  • Points of differentiation in engagement: Compilation & Preparation; Preparation & Bookkeeping 
  • How to preserve independence when called for in any engagement
  • Practical suggestions to improve the efficiency of their SSARS engagements without reducing effectiveness or sacrificing quality

This online CPE webinar will also provide attendees with a hands-on application for performing preparation and compilation engagements.
