Process

The path from first call to signed opinion

Financial auditing is a sequence of decisions. This page shows what happens at each stage so your finance team knows when to free people for counts, confirmations, and query clearing.

Scoping call

We confirm entities, year-end date, reporting framework, inventory locations, and any lender or board deadline. You leave with a draft fee range and a list of documents needed before planning.

Engagement letter

Responsibilities, independence confirmations, fee, deposit, and timeline sit in writing. Work does not start until both sides sign.

Planning & document request

Materiality, risk assessment, and a dated request list covering ledgers, contracts, bank details, and count instructions. Early drops shorten fieldwork.

Fieldwork

Walkthroughs, sampling, confirmations, and inventory observation. Queries live in one tracker with owners and due dates — not scattered email threads.

Clearing & draft report

Outstanding items are closed or reflected in the draft opinion and management letter. You review wording before anything goes to the board.

Exit meeting & final opinion

Findings are walked through with named owners. The signed report and letter follow once subsequent events procedures are complete.
