(Formerly known as Compilations and Reviews)

Provides practitioners with a fundamental, real-world approach for conducting the highest quality compilations and reviews. It reduces the technical language of official pronouncements to easy-to-read, easy-to-understand advice and procedures and is designed to help the CPA enhance the quality of his or her practice.

The book includes an overview and identification of the professional responsibilities that arise when a CPA accepts a compilation or review engagement, discusses and illustrates the procedures that need to be performed, describes the preparation of the CPA's engagement report, discusses management-use-only compilations, and addresses special engagements such as OCBOA-based financial statements and partnership financial statements. This comprehensive resource also deals with topics ranging from attestation standards for review engagements that do not involve financial statements to financial forecasts and projections.

Compilations and Reviews contains an appendix that assists CPAs in determining what procedures should be performed and what approach should be used in order to perform an efficient compilation or review engagement. Throughout, the guide features numerous checklists, questionnaires, workpapers, sample correspondence, and sample reports that take the auditor through an engagement from the initial evaluation of a client to the issuance of the auditor's report.

A free companion CD-ROM that contains all these knowledge-based tools, which can be modified by practitioners to suit their needs.

There may even be a mention of earphones!

Our cultural values are making us sad: money, mortality, and fear of missing out.

In a video chat last night, a friend admitted, “I’ve been crying a lot, and I’m not sure why.” COVID-19 has given us many reasons to weep. We’re out of our routines, the stock market has plunged, and we imagine millions dying. This virus and economic crisis punch us squarely where our spiritual armor is weakest: mortality, money, and our fear of missing out.

In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul distinguishes between two kinds of sorrow—a sorrow that “leads to death,” and a “godly sorrow.” The latter “brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret” (v. 10). Godly sorrow, he writes, produces “earnestness,” eagerness to repent, and a “longing” and “readiness to see justice done” (v. 11). The question the church faces now is which kind of sorrow COVID-19 will bring.

We are in the midst of the most widespread societal upheaval that many people alive today have ever experienced. Already our institutions, habits, relationships, and culture are shifting before our eyes. Frank M. Snowden, author of Epidemics and Society, shared with the New Yorker, “Epidemics are a category of disease that seem to hold up the mirror to human beings as to who we really are.” The question we are facing is not whether we will experience sorrow and change; the question is how. As biblical prophets walked with people through catastrophes, their advice was never to just endure until it ends. Instead they focused on proactively changing relationships with each other and with God.

As a cultural anthropologist who grew up in a middle-class white United States home and then lived for much of my adult life in Nicaragua, China, and South Africa, ...
