How the work proceeds
-
1
Scope the cycles
We select the cycles that move material balances — usually sales cut-off, inventory, and disbursements.
-
2
Walk and sample
Interviews and reperformance show whether controls operate as described in your manuals.
-
3
Report and hand over
Findings arrive as a short letter with owners and suggested timing before the next audit.
This review does not replace a statutory audit. It is designed so that when auditors arrive, open control questions are already owned and timed — not discovered under filing pressure.
