The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires fn 1 a registrant to engage an independent accountant to review the registrant’s interim financial information, in accordance with this section, before the registrant files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB.

Paragraphs .37 through .46 of this section provide reporting guidance for a review of interim financial information.
