Best Answer

Assurance colonies are animals that are held in captivity because they are on the endangered species list. Assurance colonies are, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red-list, animals that fall in the conservation statuses of Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vunerable. Animals' whose conservation status are Near Threatened or Least Concern are considered to be Non-Endangeried colonies.

I work in a lab where we have colonies of turtles such as the big-headed turtle (Platysternon megacephalum) and the (Mauremys mutica) that are in Assurance colonies, and turtles in non-endangered colonies such as Red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta).

Hope this helps!

What is absolute assurance?

Absolute Assurance is the highest level of assurance an auditor can give, if s/he checks each and every transaction. Therefore, absolute assurance is the level of assurance that can only be given if the auditor does not perform sampling testing. However, because of the time and costs involved, it is not feasible for an auditor to give 100% level of assurance. With much fewer costs and time involved, s/he will be able to provide around 60% level of assurance by providing what is called Reasonable Assurance.
