Assurance-Compliance with Agreements, Statutes, Regulations

Many accountants are asked to report on an organization’s compliance with agreements, statutes, and regulations, and need to apply the appropriate assurance standards.   When an audit or review of compliance with laws, agreements or regulations is required, CSAE 3530 Special Considerations – Attestation Engagements to Report on Compliance and CSAE 3531 Special Considerations – Direct Engagements to Report on Compliance apply.
