## Research questions

### Why should an audit offer distinguish preparation, compilation and review?

AICPA's official indexed resource describes separate preparation, compilation, review and audit resources, including a comparative overview. Direct and web retrieval showed only a partial shell, so the detailed overview remains indexed support. Name the proposed engagement instead of implying interchangeable services; an inquiry or quote is not completed assurance work.

### What does a technology-enabled audit offer actually describe?

PwC describes data acquisition, documentation and document review within its audit workflow. A campaign can explain those process features without guaranteeing faster delivery, perfect detection or an audit opinion. A demo, scoping meeting and signed engagement are different business stages; this edition does not publish an AOV benchmark for auditing services.

### Is assurance readiness the same service as an assurance engagement?

KPMG describes Ready for Assurance as assessing whether preconditions and evidence for a future sustainability-assurance engagement are present. State that readiness scope rather than imply an issued assurance conclusion. A readiness-project inquiry and a completed assurance engagement are different offers and should not share an undifferentiated conversion label.

### Does every assurance offer cover the same information?

KPMG lists sustainability-assurance scopes that can include greenhouse-gas emissions, specified reports and management-developed indicators. Name the information within the proposed engagement rather than promote a universal compliance seal. The source describes service scope, not the buyer's obligations, audit outcome or measured assurance-project value.
