Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When clients need their statements made
But no assurance must be paid
We gather information true
To help prepare what they're due
No audit trail or review's might
Just compilation done just right
From records raw to statements clean
The simplest service we have seen

[Chorus]
Four-Two-Hundred is the way
Compilation every day
No assurance we provide
Just prepare what's verified
Client's data, our skill combined
Financial statements well-designed
But remember what we say
No opinion comes our way

[Verse 2]
The practitioner must understand
What information's in their hand
We organize and calculate
But never verify or validate
Management takes responsibility
For accuracy and reliability
We're just the ones who format right
Their numbers into clearer sight

[Chorus]
Four-Two-Hundred is the way
Compilation every day
No assurance we provide
Just prepare what's verified
Client's data, our skill combined
Financial statements well-designed
But remember what we say
No opinion comes our way

[Bridge]
Independence isn't required here
No testing makes the pathway clear
But competence must still be shown
Professional skills we've always known
Each page must state quite clearly
This compilation made sincerely
Gives no assurance of any kind
Just organized what we did find

[Verse 3]
Knowledge of the client's trade
Helps ensure the work is made
With understanding of their ways
But limits mark our working days
We cannot give them confidence
About their financial evidence
Just compilation clean and neat
Makes our service set complete

[Chorus]
Four-Two-Hundred is the way
Compilation every day
No assurance we provide
Just prepare what's verified
Client's data, our skill combined
Financial statements well-designed
But remember what we say
No opinion comes our way

[Outro]
CSRS guides our every move
Compilation we improve
No assurance, that's our line
Organization by design
