    Hello sir,
    I am convinced that Limited assurance could give both Negative and Positive assurance, one or the other I mean rather than Just Negative.

    Am I right?

    Limited assurance = negative assurance
    Reasonable assurance = positive assurance.

    These terms say nothing about whether assurance is given. So, an audit is positive/reasonable assurance but the audit opinion could say that the FS do show a true and fair view or it could say the FS do not show a T&F view. Either way, the audit report is ‘definite’.

    Limited or negative assurance simple says that nothing untoward has been found (assuming it hasn’t).

    Suppose it is a review engagement and you are almost certain of what you found.
    Couldn’t this be positive?

    No. It is only a review and that falls short of an audit.
