   • Perform and Auditor Discussion and Analysis similar to MD & A, all about risk
   • Expand the Emphasis Paragraph to discuss management judgment
   • Provide assurance on information outside the statements
   • Provide reasonable assurance about fraud, disclosure, management responsibility, preparation, auditor responsibility, information outside the statement, and auditor independence
