Why Attestation Services Matter
Decisions increasingly depend on financial reports, performance metrics, and compliance data, most of it prepared internally by management, which raises questions of accuracy, bias, or consistency. Attestation provides independent CPA assurance over reported information, increasing confidence for investors, lenders, regulators, and partners.
It matters most around financing, regulatory filings, mergers and acquisitions, grant compliance, and contractual reporting. An attestation engagement issues a formal opinion, conclusion, or report on subject matter or assertions made by another party, against defined criteria, and requires independence and adherence to AICPA standards.
Who Attestation services are for
A good fit if you:
- Need a lender, regulator, or investor to trust your numbers.
- Face regulatory filing or grant-compliance reporting.
- Are preparing for financing, a transaction, or diligence.
- Must report royalty, revenue, or compliance data to a counterparty.
- Want assurance calibrated to what stakeholders actually require.
The engagement is scoped to the subject matter and the level of assurance your stakeholders need.
The three levels
The three levels of Attestation assurance
The right engagement depends on the level of assurance stakeholders require.
Examination (Audit-Level Assurance)
The highest level. Extensive testing and a positive opinion on whether the subject matter is fairly presented against the criteria.Review (Limited Assurance)
Moderate assurance from analytical procedures and inquiry, stating whether anything came to our attention indicating material misstatement.Agreed-Upon Procedures
Specific procedures you define, reported as factual findings with no opinion.
