Summary

Review files are the most common engagements performed by CPA firms. These engagements meet creditors’ and investors’ requirements concerning the reliability of the financial reporting.

Why have a Paradigme version of a review file template?

  • To achieve the objectives of obtaining appropriate and sufficient evidence
    • By focusing the work at different stages of the engagement: from planning to execution
  • To enable the practitioner to express a conclusion on the reliability of the financial reporting and issue a report on the financial statements
    • By presenting examples of information requests and analytical procedures
  • To document in accordance with section CSRE 2400 of the CPA Canada Handbook
    • By using the table of contents and the various worksheets from the Paradigme Questionnaires
