13 October 2007 AAS 33: engagements to review Statements
states that
A review provides a moderate level assurance that the information subject to review is free of material misstatement, this is expressed in the form of negative assurance.

My Question is WHAT IS THE NEGATIVE ASSURANCE
over here?If the reviewer is assuring something how can that be a -ve?
i mean is that that he is not assuring something?
Kindly elucidate me the meaning how the review report should contain a "negative assurance"
