Audit and assurance support
Workpapers that arrive complete, referenced, and ready for review.
Support for audit engagement teams under peak load — prepared by supervised professionals, checked by a technical reviewer, and delivered against a documentation standard you set.
Scope
What the delivery team performs.
Preparation and documentation work that consumes staff hours without requiring the engagement partner's judgement. Scope is agreed engagement by engagement.
- Workpaper preparation and indexing
- Financial-statement tie-outs
- Audit schedules and lead sheets
- Testing support (sampling, recalculation, vouching)
- Confirmation tracking and follow-up logs
- Roll-forwards and prior-year carry-forward
- Documentation organisation and referencing
- Review-note resolution and evidencing
- SOX and ICFR walkthrough and testing support
- Agreed-upon or other permitted procedures support
Responsibility
Where our work stops and yours continues.
The U.S. CPA firm retains responsibility for engagement acceptance, supervision, professional judgement, review, and report issuance unless a different legally permissible arrangement is established in writing.
Our teams prepare, document, test, and resolve notes. They do not form the audit opinion, evaluate whether a deficiency is a material weakness, determine materiality, or make acceptance decisions.
Documentation is prepared to support your compliance with PCAOB AS 1215 or AU-C 230 as applicable, including the documentation completion and retention timeline. Assembly deadlines are treated as scheduling constraints from the start of the engagement.
Accountability
Named roles on every deliverable.
Owns the commercial relationship and the CPA firm's single point of contact.
Scope, cadence, escalation path, scaling decisions. Present before, during, and after the pilot.
- Who signs the audit report?
- Your firm. The U.S. CPA firm retains responsibility for engagement acceptance, supervision, professional judgement, review, and report issuance unless a different legally permissible arrangement is established in writing.
- How are review notes handled?
- Notes are logged, assigned to the named preparer, cleared with evidence attached, and re-checked by our internal quality review before the file returns to you. You receive a closure log with the file.
- Can the team work inside our audit documentation platform?
- Access is provisioned per named individual inside your platform, through the secure VDI environment, with MFA. Platform specifics are agreed at workflow mapping and named products are confirmed during discovery.
- How is independence evaluated?
- Conflict and independence screening runs before acceptance and again at every scope change. Because the firm also serves direct clients, your client list is screened against ours rather than assumed clear.
- How quickly can a team ramp for a peak?
- Ramp depends on scope, platform access, and training. A seasonal pod is trained ahead of the season on an agreed schedule rather than staffed on demand.
