What you decide at each gate
After intake you approve the fee and calendar. After sampling you can widen or narrow coverage before investigation deepens. After the memo you decide which adjustments to post—we do not alter your ledgers.
Audit process
From intake call to findings memo
A transparent sequence so finance leads know when documents are due, when exceptions surface, and when the closing discussion happens.
-
Intake and scope
We map your vendor subledger structure, payment cycle, and the deadline that matters—close, remittance, or diligence pack. Scope names the period, materiality lens, and whether work is on-site in Keelung or remote.
-
Document request
You receive a written list: subledger export, sample invoice packets, remittance advice, bank statements, and approval matrix. Access windows are agreed so AP is not interrupted without notice.
-
Population and sampling
Balances are populated from your books. Samples focus on material and anomalous items—aging outliers, round-amount remittances, vendors with mixed current and overdue buckets.
-
Exception investigation
Differences are walked with your AP staff. We distinguish timing gaps, missing credits, duplicate payments, and documentation holes before anything is labelled a finding.
-
Findings memo and close-out
You receive a memo listing each exception, evidence reviewed, and recommended adjustments. A closing discussion covers residual risk and what your team owns next.
Timing expectations
Vendor Ledger Verification often runs five to fifteen business days once documents arrive. Payment Audit Support is shorter when the batch set is limited. Pre-close checks need a reserved window before your lock date—tell us that date first.
Compressed calendars are possible; they raise fees when evening or weekend document work is required. We say so in the proposal rather than discovering the crunch mid-engagement.
