You are a junior auditor at ProAudit Services, a prominent accounting firm known for its commitment to quality and professionalism. While you have found success in your role so far, you are still a relatively new auditor, and many of your assigned tasks include basic analysis and documentation under the supervision of the senior auditor. Your company has recently taken on a new client, HealthTech Innovations Inc., a rapidly growing healthcare technology company. Your manager has requested an email summarizing the engagement type that is most appropriate for this client along with a short justification for which attestation report will be included in work for the client. The manager has also asked that you perform specified procedures and reports, based on the nature of the engagement, which do not require an opinion or a conclusion.

This assignment supports the skill of identifying the best engagement type and explaining the rationale for choosing a specific attestation report.
