{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What's the difference between an audit and a review?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"

An audit is a detailed examination of your financial records that offers the highest level of assurance. A review is less in-depth and offers limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries. Audits are often required by banks or investors, while reviews are sufficient for smaller businesses or internal needs.
