You do your best to track the finances and accounts associated with your business, but there’s always the nagging feeling that some detail has fallen through the cracks. How can you gain peace of mind that you won’t be penalized for errors, missteps, or omissions?
That’s where assurance comes in.
Third-party assurance services are essential for reducing risk and building confidence in all reported financial information. “Assurance services” refer to the independent review of any financial document or transaction — such as a loan, contract, or financial website — for correctness and validity. By improving the quality of the information that gets reported, assurance services make things easier for decision-makers like stakeholders, analysts, and the business owner or owners themselves.

The International Framework for Assurance Engagements identifies five key components of assurance: relationship, subject matter, criteria, evidence, and conclusion. Each one will be analyzed, though the specifics will vary from case to case.
Assurance services can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Generally, such engagements will result in one of four levels of service for financial statements or specific data
- Compilation – includes reading & making inquiries without any assurance
- Review – provides limited assurance
- Audit – full opinion issued
- Agreed-Upon Procedures – procedures tailored to meet specific needs
