OK - you got me, I'll explain why - the majority of auditing financial service firms around the world describe the services they provide in terms of this distinction - see for example [1],[2], [3],[4] - the term is used in millions of places, and the distinction is rarely clearly explained. I was fascinated to see it here, because "what is assurance services" is often a question I've asked myself, and nice to see someone has bothered to explain it. ---- nonsense ferret 01:09, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did a search to find significant coverage within independent academic journals and found the following references which show that there seems to me to be some notability here. I'm not sure how best to format these but here they are:

  • Keep per the sources above given by User:nonsenseferret. The topic appears to have received significant coverage in reliable sources, and appears to pass WP:N. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:31, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It looks like there's a wealth of reliable sources about the topic (just search on Google Scholar). I'll try to add some to the article if I get a chance. —Neil 00:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
