  B. A restricted-use compilation report must be included with the financial statements.
  C. The accountant must document this restriction in an engagement letter.
  D. The accountant must perform substantive tests of control to obtain assurance that use of the financial statements will be so restricted.
  Answer:A
  A is corrent because the restriction must be indicated on each page of the financial statements.
