Why does being accredited in business valuations matter?
To provide assurance that business valuation service providers are experienced, tested and certified, the AICPA has developed the Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) Credential for CPAs. Those who earn the ABV Credential must:
- Be a member in good standing of the AICPA
- Hold a valid CPA certificate or license
- Demonstrate experience in business valuation
- Pass a rigorous business valuation exam
- Demonstrate a history of continuing education
To maintain the ABV Credential, a CPA must meet the requirements for recertification every three years. These include submitting evidence of continuing substantial involvement in the discipline and completing related Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses. The ABV Credential certifies that you are working with a certified valuation professional – a CPA who brings added value to a valuation engagement. CPA/ABVs combine a sophisticated understanding of accounting, taxation, financial statement analysis and business operations in many different industries with proven competence in business valuation. Thanks to those core competencies, ABVs have an advantage when it comes to meeting clients’ valuation needs. When you need reliable, impartial advice, give yourself the advantage of working with a CPA/ABV and get valuation services you can bank on.

Why would I need to have my company’s financial statements Compiled or Reviewed by a CPA?
Compilation (No Assurance Provided):
SSARS No.19 (AR Section 60.05) defines a compilation as follows,
A compilation is a service, the objective of which is to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without undertaking to obtain or provide any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework. Although a compilation is not an assurance engagement, it is an attest engagement.
In summary, a compilation is the lowest form of financial statement assurance.
Review Engagement (Limited Assurance)
Concerning a Review engagement, SSARS No. 19 (AR Section 60.07) states,
A review is a service, the objective of which is to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework. In a review engagement, the accountant should accumulate review evidence to obtain a limited level of assurance. A review engagement is an assurance engagement as well as an attest engagement.
In summary, a review is the middle of the road in the financial statement world. It provides more assurance than a compilation, but less than an audit.
