    Just want to make sure that I understand this correctly

    1) Do compilations require independence?
    2) Do Compilations require engagement letters? or are they called something else
    3) A compilation is considered to be an attestation service, but not assurance, service, correct?

    starting to lose my mind a little on these last couple days of studying

    1. Compilations do NOT require independence but if not independent, you must state so
    2. They require a written agreement that is typically an engagement letter
    3. Not too sure on this one, starting to get confused with all the services myself :/ I do know compilations follow SSARSs

    3) Correct. They are not an assurance engagement, but an attest one. That follows SSARs.

    OMG…Audit is probably going to haunt my dreams tonight… :/

    I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.
