Understanding the Financial Statement Review Process
A financial statement review is an assurance service provided by a CPA to evaluate a nonprofit organization’s financial statements. It involves performing analytical procedures and inquiries to confirm that the financial statements are plausible and conform to applicable accounting standards. This process results in nonprofit reviewed financial statements that offer a moderate level of assurance to stakeholders about the organization’s financial position and performance.
While a financial statement review provides valuable insights, it is not an audit. Unlike an audit, a review does not involve in-depth testing of transactions or internal controls, nor does it provide a high level of assurance. Therefore, a nonprofit financial review is less extensive and less costly than an audit but still enhances the credibility of your financial statements to donors, grantors, and regulatory bodies.
The review process begins with our CPAs gaining an understanding of your nonprofit’s industry and financial practices. We perform analytical procedures and engage in discussions with your management team to identify any unusual items or trends. By examining financial ratios and asking targeted questions, we assess whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The result is a set of nonprofit financial statement reviews that bolster confidence in your organization’s financial reporting.
