Quality control is closely related to, but distinct from, GAAS. A CPA firm must make sure that GAAS are followed on every audit. Quality controls are the procedures used by the CPA firm that help it meet requirements demanded by GAAS on every engagement in a consistent manner. 一家注册会计事务所，用质量控制的方法来确保公司满足其对客户的职业责任。质量控制是与公认会计准则密切相关的，但又区别于它。一家注册会计事务所必须确保每个审计员都遵循公认会计准则。质量控制是注册会计事务所使用的程序，以每个参与一致的方式来帮助它满足公认会计准则的要求。2. （纠结）Two primary types of attestation services are: audits of historical financial statements and reviews of historical financial statements.

For conditions involving a GAAP violation, the materiality level of the violation influences whether an unqualified, qualified, or adverse opinion is issued. For conditions involving a scope restriction, the materiality of the restriction influences whether an unqualified report, a qualified scope and opinion report, or a disclaimer of opinion is issued.当确定发布适合的审计报告时,审计员对于一个给定的条件考虑三个层次的实质性。这三个层次是(1)、非实质的（非物质的）(2)材料（资料）没有遮盖作为一个整体的财务报表,和(3)高度的资料。包括会计违反（一般）公认会计原则的条件，违反影响的物质层次是否不合格,或合格,或发布不利的意见。包括一个范围制约的条件，制约影响的实质性是否是一个合格的报告、一个合格的范围和意见,或声明的报告发表意见。11.
