Compilations & Reviews

This annually published reference for CPAs translates the technical jargon of applicable prounouncements into more comprehensible language and offers guidance for planning, performance, documentation, and reporting. The first couple of chapters useful to new personnel provide an overview and identify professional responsibilities. Subsequent chapters on procedures and reporting in detail are followed by discussion of specialized engagements such as OCBOA-based financial statements and partnership financial statements. The final section deals with various topics that are encountered less frequently. This edition includes explanation of the watershed GASB 34, and the new Management-Use-Only Compilation Engagement. The included CD-ROM contains all the checklists, forms, and reports needed to perform a thorough compilation or review. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
