Question:Which of the following are not assurance engagements?
A. Reporting on the effectiveness of internal controls.
B. Tax and management consulting.

The correct answers are: Compilation of financial information; Tax and management consulting.
An assurance engagement is 'an engagement in which a practitioner expresses a conclusion designed to enhance the degree of confidence of the intended users other than the responsible party about the outcome of the evaluation or measurement of a subject matter against criteria'.
Compilation of financial information and tax and management consulting do not meet the definition of an assurance engagement.
