Sec. 13. (a) "Report", when used with reference to any attest or compilation service, means an opinion, report, or other form of language that states or implies assurance as to the reliability of the attested information or compiled financial statements and that also includes or is accompanied by any statement or implication that the individual or firm issuing it has special knowledge or competence in accounting or auditing. The statement or implication of special knowledge or competence may arise from use by the issuer of the report of names or titles indicating that the individual is an accountant or auditor or from the language of the report.
(b) The term includes any form of language that disclaims an opinion when the form of the language is conventionally understood to imply any positive assurance as to:
(1) the reliability of the attested information or compiled financial statements referred to; or
(2) special competence on the part of the individual or firm issuing the language.
(c) The term includes any other form of language that is conventionally understood to imply an assurance or special knowledge or competence described in subsection (b).
