Year-end Financial Statements
Year-End Financial Statement Compilation
CSRS 4200 Engagements for Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Charities
Clear, organized financial statements are essential for understanding your business’s performance and making informed decisions. I provide year-end compilation engagements under CSRS 4200, helping you present your financial information in a professional format that supports internal planning, external reporting, and stakeholder confidence.
What Is a Compilation Engagement?
A compilation engagement involves assembling financial data provided by management into structured financial statements. It does not include audit or review procedures, and no assurance is provided. The goal is to present the information clearly and consistently, based on what you supply.
Each engagement includes:
Balance Sheet: A snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at year-end
Income Statement: A summary of revenues, expenses, and net income
Disclosures: Notes that help users interpret the financial results
These statements are prepared in accordance with CSRS 4200, the Canadian standard for compilation engagements.
Who Uses Compiled Financial Statements?
Compiled statements are useful for:
Business owners and managers who want a clear view of financial performance
Lenders and advisors who need reliable figures for financing or planning
Board members and stakeholders who require transparency and accountability
Internal teams conducting year-end reviews or budgeting for the year ahead
Why Choose a Compilation Engagement?
Professional presentation: Your financial data is organized into a clean, consistent format that reflects well on your business
Informed decision-making: Gain clarity on your financial position to support planning, forecasting, and performance evaluation
Cost-effective reporting: Get the structure and reliability of formal financial statements without the time and cost of an audit
Prepared for next steps: Whether you're applying for financing, preparing for a sale, or reviewing internal performance, these statements provide a solid foundation
What This Engagement Does Not Include
It’s important to understand the scope of a compilation:
I do not verify or audit the information you provide
I do not express an opinion or assurance on the financial statements
The responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the data remains with management
This clarity helps set expectations and ensures the statements are used appropriately.
