As the most comprehensive form of assurance service, audits involve the expression of an opinion on a company's financial statements, aligning with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP). Typically mandated by financing, investor, or governmental regulations, audits entail an independent evaluation of a entity's internal accounting system and financial records, culminating in a comprehensive audit report.

Offering a more limited assurance, reviews encompass analytical procedures performed on financial statements to attain a broad understanding of the company's financial status. Unlike audits, reviews do not express an opinion and provide a lesser degree of assurance. They are often necessary for companies seeking financing.

Involving the organization of a company's financial information into general-purpose financial statements such as balance sheets and income statements, compilations may also aid in developing budgets or necessary reporting documents. While cost-effective, compilations do not offer any assurance, as no opinion is provided on the financial statements or related documents.
