Attestation Report

An attestation report is a written statement by an independent third party (such as a CPA or an auditor) that expresses an opinion on the reliability and accuracy of an organization’s financial statements or other information. An attestation report is used to assure stakeholders (such as shareholders, creditors, and regulators) that the information being presented is accurate and can be relied upon.
