Audit Readiness Assessment
A structured readiness check for companies facing their first external audit or a lender-requested examination of the books.
From ¥350,000
Who this is for
Growing companies that have kept careful books but have never undergone a formal external audit, and CFOs preparing for bank covenant audits.
What you receive
A readiness scorecard covering documentation gaps, control weaknesses, and a sequenced remediation calendar ahead of the first audit kickoff.
Scope
Review of chart of accounts hygiene, closing calendar, supporting schedules, related-party documentation, and sample transaction trails for revenue and payroll.
How the work proceeds
-
Intake
We collect sample month packs, policies, and organization charts.
-
Assessment
Gaps are scored against what a first-year auditor typically requests.
-
Workshop
Finance staff leave with a dated remediation list before engagement letters are signed.
Gather the last twelve month-end packs and any existing accounting manuals, even if informal.
Readiness work performed by our team cannot later be used as the independent audit of the same period; a clear ethical wall applies if you later engage us for the audit.
