Nonprofit update

Earlier this year I wrote a CPE course on SSARS requirements for CCH . Back in April I mentioned Compilation and Review: Practice Issues (Third Edition) was available. Discussed that course here.  Two more SSARS classes I wrote are now online.  Another will be available soon.  Each of the following classes are two CPE hours.

Compilation and Review: Introduction.  Course description from CCH:

I have four posts up at Attestation Update discussing how SSARS 19 says the accountant should deal with possible fraud and illegal acts encountered while performing compilations and reviews.

I have two posts at Attestation Update explaining how to address going concern issues under SSARS 19.  The guidance found in SSARS 19 is rather brief.  Here are the posts:

• Going concern issues in SSARS 19 – part one
• Going concern issues in SSARS 19 – part two

I won’t cross-post those comments to this blog.  Please click the links above to read the discussion.

I have written a series of eight posts on the documentation rules for reviews and comps from SSARS 19 on my other blog, www.attestationupdate.com.  Those posts have been combined into a single ’page’.  This means you can read all the posts in chronological order, which also means they are in logical order.  Click here for the page.

I have written an on-line CPE course on SSARS called Compilation and Review: Practice Issues.  It is a 3 hour course covering a variety of practice issues for CPAs providing comps and reviews.  It is written at the overview level. 

Arriving soon at the CCH Learning Center.  When it is available on-line, I’ll give more detail and a link to the course.

I wrote the course in a little more casual voice that you might expect to see in a technical class, but not quite as casual as you see on this blog.  If you enjoy the style of writing you see here, you might enjoy the online CPE.

More detail to follow!

Update:  3-hour online CPE course called Compilation and Review: Practice Issues (Third Edition) is now available at the CCH Learning Center website.  Course discussed in more detail at this post.

I have started a series of posts on my other blog discussing the documentation requirements under SSARS 19 for compilations and reviews.  I won’t be cross-posting those discussions on this blog.  The first item is here.

Update – Discussions of reviews start here.

I have a post up on my other blog addressing this question. You can find it here, since I won’t be cross posting the entry.

At my other blog, I have a post discussing the option to explain the reasons for an accountant’s lack of independence in a compilation.  Also have a poll to survey readers whether they plan to use this option.  I don’t plan to cross-post those two discussions, so please click on the link to see the post.

Greetings to the all the accountants arriving here after doing a search on reviews and compilations!  Hope the posts here are of help to you.

What other questions do you have on SSARS 19? Let me know in the comments and I’ll try to help!

Happy New Year and best wishes as you implement the new stuff in SSARS 19!
