Corporate Year-End Accounting and Preparation of Financial Statements:

Notice to Reader or Compilation level engagements refers to the preparation of a set of financial statements which are unaudited. Most corporations require this level of financial statements.
Review level engagements provide more assurance than a Notice to Reader. This type of engagement involves more in-depth work by the year-end accountant to ascertain whether the financial statements are plausible and the accountant states this in a report attached to the financial statements. This level of engagement may be required by a creditor of the corporation, such as a bank, as a covenant of a loan, legislation or laws may require this level of engagement, or if there are numerous shareholders of a corporation then they may require this level of assurance.
