Compilation and Review Standards

Compilation and Review Standards

View additional resources and guidance.

Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARSs) are issued by the AICPA Accounting and Review Services Committee (ARSC), the senior technical committee of the AICPA designated to issue pronouncements in connection with the unaudited financial statements or other unaudited financial information of a nonpublic entity. AICPA Council has designated ARSC as a body to establish technical standards under Rule 202 of the Institute's Code of Professional Conduct.

Interpretations are issued to provide guidance on the application of SSARSs. Interpretations are issued after all members of ARSC have been provided an opportunity to consider and comment on whether the proposed interpretation is consistent with SSARSs. An interpretation is not as authoritative as a SSARS, but members should be aware that they may have to justify a departure from an interpretation if the quality of their work is questioned.

These standards and related interpretations are current as of June 1, 2012.
