Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When clients need some comfort but not the full parade
Review engagements offer what CSRE twenty-four hundred made
Limited assurance through inquiry and tests
Analytical procedures put doubts to rest
Nothing came to our attention, negative conclusions flow
Plausible but not certain, that's the scope we know

[Chorus]
Review, compile, agree upon the facts
CSRE, CSRS, get your standards packed
SOC reports for service controls tight
Attestation standards make the non-financial bright
Limited, no assurance, or procedures defined
Other services dancing through the auditor's mind

[Verse 2]
Compilation work means forty-two hundred applies
No assurance given, just organize and crystallize
Management's information becomes statements clean
Accountant's skill transforms the raw data scene
Independence not required, involvement stays minimal
Professional competence keeps the output clinical

[Chorus]
Review, compile, agree upon the facts
CSRE, CSRS, get your standards packed
SOC reports for service controls tight
Attestation standards make the non-financial bright
Limited, no assurance, or procedures defined
Other services dancing through the auditor's mind

[Bridge]
Agreed procedures spell out exactly what to do
Factual findings only, no opinions breaking through
Client specifies the scope, we execute with care
Report what we discovered, nothing more to share

[Verse 3]
SOC One for financial reporting controls
SOC Two for security, availability goals
SOC Three for general use, public consumption ready
Attestation expands beyond financials steady
Sustainability metrics, compliance declarations
Non-financial subjects need professional validations

[Chorus]
Review, compile, agree upon the facts
CSRE, CSRS, get your standards packed
SOC reports for service controls tight
Attestation standards make the non-financial bright
Limited, no assurance, or procedures defined
Other services dancing through the auditor's mind

[Outro]
From negative assurance to factual reports
Professional services of all different sorts
Each engagement type serves its unique role
Other assurance services make the practice whole
