Right, and my explanation was to try to capture that the NAB/CAB review is
to a different goal, and purpose, so it's not really a comparison you can
make, because they're seeking to achieve different results, following
different processes.

In the context of WebTrust licensing, the WebTrust team at CPA Canada would
perform a review prior to the issuance of a seal to a licensee. So, in one
sense, "every" report is being reviewed. However, you can't directly
compare this to what the NAB is doing for the CABs, and using a term like
"audit review" may be confusing without understanding the nuanced model of
the approaches and differences with WebTrust (/IFAC/CPA Canada/AICPA) and
ETSI (/EA/NAB/CAB). The NAB review of the CAB is not necessarily a quality
review towards the particular goals of a consumer of a particular audit
report (i.e. it's not a quality-control review, like WebTrust), but rather,
closer to a professional conduct review (e.g. against ISO CASCO's work).
This should be clear in looking at the role the Supervisory Body performs
with respect to reviewing the CARs from CABs, and how that's a functionally
different step and goal than the NAB assessment.
