A review engagement may help the accountant to report weaknesses, to the
management, that come to their attention and provide limited assurance that
no material modifications required to the financial statements in conformity
with the financial reporting framework.

others, review all material items in the financial statements, and perform
analytical procedures to gain (a) better understanding of plausible relationships
of recorded amounts and (b) degree of assurance that:
