Review of financial statements

A review of financial statements is an audit, as a result of which the auditor expresses his confidence that the information, that is the subject of the review, does not contain material misstatements. When conducting a review, the auditor is guided by the same general professional principles and judgments in expressing audit opinion on financial statements as in an audit. The review of financial statements is carried out for the quarter, semester and nine months (interim financial statements).
Unlike an audit, the review is not intended to provide reasonable assurance that the interim financial information (financial statements) does not contain material misstatements.
The review involves the fulfillment of requests mainly to persons responsible for financial and accounting issues, and the use of analytical and other review procedures. A review may draw the auditor’s attention to important issues that affect interim financial information, but a review does not provide all the evidence that an audit would require.
The objective of the review of financial statements is to enable the auditor to conclude on the basis of the review whether any fact has drawn his attention that gives him reason to believe that the financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting conceptual basis.

According to what standards are financial statements reviewed?

The review of financial statements is carried out in accordance with the International Standards on Review Engagements (hereinafter – ISRE), namely:
• ISRE 2400 «Engagements to review Historical Financial Statements»;
• ISRE 2410 «Review of Interim Financial Information».

When reviewing financial statements, the following procedures are performed:

• requests are sent about principles and accounting practices of the company;
• requests are sent regarding the recording, classification and summation of transactions;
• information is collected for disclosure in the financial statements;
• requests are sent for confirmation of all material statements in the financial statements;
