What is a compilation engagement?

A compilation engagement comprises unaudited financial statements that have been prepared by an accountant.

A compilation engagement consists of compiling financial statements based on information provided by management, and therefore it does not have the same degree of authority as audited financial statements. There is no opinion given by the accountant in a compilation engagement . 

What is the purpose of a compilation engagement?

While no assurance is provided for a compilation engagement, for many small businesses, this is sufficient to meet management’s needs.
