Yes, a non-CPA can perform a compilation, but they must adhere to certain standards and guidelines. While a CPA is typically preferred for this service due to their expertise and knowledge of accounting principles, a non-CPA can compile financial statements as long as they understand the compilation process and the relevant reporting standards. However, it's important to note that any compilation performed by a non-CPA may not carry the same level of credibility as one conducted by a licensed CPA.
