Understand the requirements and principles related to SSARS engagements and avoid common pitfalls.
In addition to introducing the preparation engagement and re-writing SSARS to codify and clarify the standards, SSARS 21 instituted many changes that affect the way practitioners evaluate, perform, and document engagements. Services that were previously considered part of a SSARS engagement have been separated and, unless new requirements are complied with, may impair the accountant's independence and increase potential engagement-related liability.
This topic will provide an overview of the general requirements and principles related to SSARS engagements with an emphasis on common pitfalls and means of avoiding them. It will assist the practitioner in determining which engagement, bookkeeping, preparation, or compilation, is most appropriate under different circumstances and will provide practical tips on how to save time in performing SSARS engagements and developing systems that will prove useful for current and future engagements.
