Attestation Services
Attestation Service is a consulting service in which a practitioner expresses a conclusion about the reliability of a written statement. Every individual or business entity requires attestation on various documents from a Chartered Accountant as per the specified rules and regulations of different laws in India.
There are broadly three types of attestation services regarding the financial statements of an entity: compilation, review and audit.
Compilation
Often a small business cannot afford an accounting staff. So, it outsources the task of preparing its financial statements to a practitioner. When a CA prepares these statements, it is called a compilation. A small business often uses compilation services when it wants to demonstrate that the company engaged a CA in the preparation of its financial statements.
Review
The next level of scrutiny is called a review. It is similar to a proper financial audit, but it is very narrower in scope.
Reviews are usually intended for lenders and other outside parties to receive a limited assurance on the completeness & accuracy of the financial statements.
Audit
An audit is used to provide creditors, investors and other users with reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of a company are free from material misstatements. The auditor’s opinion that many companies hope to achieve is an “unmodified” or a “clean” opinion.
In addition to the auditor’s engagement, the business entity tends to be more involved in an audit by:
- preparing the financial statements for the auditor to review,
- providing footnotes and required disclosures to the financial statements,
- providing evidence to support the underlying transactions that comprise the financial statements,
- having documented accounting policies and procedures and
- answering any questions, the auditor may have.

What is a UDIN, and what all certificates is it required for?
Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN) is an 18-Digits system generated unique number for every document certified/attested by Practicing Chartered Accountants. The concept of UDIN was introduced to curb the malpractices of certification by non-CAs and to enable the third parties to check the authenticity of the documents.

Who are review engagements intended for?

How does certification or attestation contribute to risk management?
Certification or attestation contributes to risk management by providing assurance that specific standards, controls, and best practices are implemented, reducing potential risks and increasing overall security and compliance measures within an organization. It helps identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, ensuring a proactive approach to risk mitigation.
What is the process for obtaining certification?
The process for obtaining certification involves the initial assessment of compliance with relevant standards, followed by documentation review, on-site audits or inspections, corrective actions if necessary, and final certification issuance upon successful completion of the process.
What is the difference between certification and attestation?
Certification typically refers to the evaluation and confirmation of a management system, product, or service against a set of standards or criteria. Attestation, on the other hand, generally relates to the validation of a specific assertion or statement, such as financial statements, controls, or compliance with specific regulations. Both processes involve independent evaluation but have different scopes and purposes.
Are attestation services only relevant to financial matters?
While attestation services are commonly associated with financial matters, such as auditing financial statements, they extend beyond finance. Attestation services can also include assessments of controls, systems, compliance with regulations, and various assertions made by an organization. These services provide independent validation and assurance, increasing trust and confidence in the subject matter being attested.
What is the difference between a self-declaration and a third - party certification?
A self-declaration means that an organization claims compliance with a certain standard or requirement without external validation. It is based on self-assessment and self-reporting. On the other hand, third-party certification involves an independent assessment conducted by a certification body. Third-party certifications are typically more credible and trusted by stakeholders as they provide an objective evaluation by an external party.
What is Financial Statement Attestation?
Financial Statement Attestation involves independent examination and verification of an organization’s financial statements to ensure they are presented fairly and in accordance with applicable accounting principles or standards.
