Common questions
- What standards govern the opinion?
- Generally accepted auditing standards, attestation standards, or SSARS for compilations and reviews, applied to the engagement letter and scope in effect at the time.
- How is causation separated from damages?
- Experts identify the but-for financial position absent the breach, then isolate losses that are legally recoverable versus commercial risks unrelated to the alleged negligence.
