This category also includes fees for services that were incurred in connection with regulatory filings or engagements. Description of Fees: 1. Audit fees include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only an independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. 2.
