What is a compilation engagement?

A compilation engagement is where a CPA prepares your financial statements from the records and information you provide. It replaced the old “Notice to Reader” for fiscal periods ending on or after December 14, 2021. A compilation is not an audit or review: the accountant does not verify your records, but the statements are prepared by a professional and come with a compilation engagement report.

What you get

Who needs one

Incorporated small businesses, holding companies, professional corporations and contractors who need statements for the CRA, a bank loan or line of credit, a lease, bonding or a franchise application. If you need a review engagement or audit, we can tell you whether that is required and refer you.

Frequently asked questions

Is a compilation engagement the same as a Notice to Reader?

It replaced the Notice to Reader. For fiscal periods ending on or after December 14, 2021, CPAs prepare compiled statements under CSRS 4200, which has a new report and a required note on the basis of accounting.

Do I need financial statements for my T2 return?

Every corporation must report its balance sheet and income statement information to the CRA using GIFI schedules with its T2 return. Compiled financial statements are the usual way small corporations prepare that information.

Is a compilation an audit?

No. A compilation does not give assurance. If a lender, investor or law requires a review engagement or audit, a different engagement is needed.
