One of the most important aspects of any business is the finances, which provide a lifeline for success. Obviously, no business is going to remain in service for any significant amount of time without having the discipline to make money and successfully put that money to use. This fiscal responsibility is critical to providing a continuous income source, ensuring the company not only has the funds to successfully pay their employees, but also generate enough money for operating expenses and overhead. 

There are a number of ways to evaluate a business but the financial health of an organization is important to business owners, stockholders, employees, and consumers. While the latter will only see public reports distributed or media driven access and analysis the preceding have multiple ways to analyze their current status. For small business owners especially, finding a reliable method to determine the state of their well being can be extremely beneficial.

Compilations are one of those methods. 

What is a Compilation?

A financial statement compilation is the assessment from an outside agency evaluating either an individual period, project or summation or a further in-depth look into a fiscal year or longer time period.

These are the lowest level of review in terms of accuracy, depth and breadth of a look into the subject financial history but can provide important information for all involved parties. Other, more thorough methods include a financial review or audited financial statement.

There are three main benefits of a compilation including - time, cost, and use. Each is directly correlated with the use for a business but can also be associated with personal accounts.

Benefits of a Compilation - COST
