Abstract

A common characteristic of these non-assurance services is that the professional accountant’s services are designed to provide technical skills, education, observations, experiences, and knowledge to subject matter for the direct use and benefit of the client. The services considered necessary are generally determined by agreement between the client and the practitioner, and the outcome of the work is not designed to provide any level of assurance to parties outside the client or responsible party.
