Detailed Answer
(a) The requirement is to identify the type of report that
may be issued by a CPA who has invested in a company’s outstanding
bonds payable. Answer (a) is correct because such an
investment impairs independence and compilations allow a
nonindependent CPA to perform the service when it is properly
disclosed. Answers (b), (c), and (d) are all incorrect because
independence is required for reviews, audits, and agreed-upon
procedures engagements.
