Answer-first summary for fast verification
Answer: Statement 1 only
## Explanation **Statement 1 is correct:** Verification under GIPS standards does improve the consistency of a firm's GIPS-compliant presentations. Verification is a process where an independent third party verifies that the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis. **Statement 2 is incorrect:** Verification does **not** provide assurance to clients that specific composite presentations made by a firm are accurate. Verification only confirms that the firm has complied with the GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis. It does not verify the accuracy of any specific composite presentation. For assurance about specific composite presentations, a performance examination (not verification) would be required. Therefore, only Statement 1 is accurate, making option A the correct answer.
