AICPA’s Auditing Standards Board (ASB) issued SSAE 22, Review Engagements, completing the update of the attestation standards. SSAE 19 modernized AUPs, SSAE 21 modernized examinations, and now SSAE 22 will focus on Review Engagements.

The new standard clarifies that the objective of a review engagement is to obtain limited assurance about whether any material modifications should be made to the subject matter in order for it to be in accordance with the criteria. SSAE 22 is effective for reports dated on or after June 15, 2022.
