Engagement path

From first call to closing briefing

Financial risk assessment audits follow a repeatable path so your finance team knows when to prepare documents, host interviews, and expect the register.

Stages

What happens in each phase

Scoping call

We learn the decision behind the audit, list entities and period, and flag whether on-site work in Taipei is practical. You leave with a draft document checklist.

Engagement letter

Scope, fee, timeline, and confidentiality terms are confirmed in writing. Work does not start until both sides sign.

Document pack

Trial balance, bank statements, aging reports, significant contracts, and management accounts arrive in a shared folder. We confirm completeness before booking field days.

Fieldwork

Sampling, control walkthroughs, and interviews with process owners. Findings are logged daily so the closing week is synthesis, not discovery.

Risk register & briefing

You receive the written register, methodology notes, and a closing briefing. One clarifying call within thirty days is included for the flagship audit.

What we ask you to prepare

Assign one finance contact with authority to schedule interviews. Reconcile cash accounts before kickoff when possible. Tell us early about related-party balances, off-book financing arrangements, or warehouses we should visit. Surprises discovered mid-fieldwork cost calendar time more than money — we would rather hear them in scoping.

Where this path does not apply

Statutory financial statement audits under ROC GAAS follow different standards and reporting. Tax controversy and bookkeeping projects are outside our engagement path. If you need those, we will say so rather than stretch a risk assessment into the wrong shape.
