A limited review of financial statements is an audit restricted to an examination either for a limited period or of a limited part of the records. A review does not contemplate obtaining an
understanding of the entitys internal control; assessing fraud risk; tests of accounting
records by obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence through inspection, observation, confirmation, or the examination of source documents (for example, cancelled checks or bank images); and other procedures ordinarily performed in an audit. Accordingly, a review does not provide assurance that we will become aware of all significant matters that would be disclosed in an audit. Therefore, a review provides only limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

This opinion suggests that the presented financial information is materially misstated or unreliable and does not conform to GAAP. It alerts stakeholders to potential risks and suggests that they exercise caution before making any financial decisions. 4. Disclaimer of Opinion: A disclaimer of opinion occurs when the independent accountants are unable to express any opinion on the financial statements.
