Every examination we perform is completed with your end goals in mind. Our communication protocols provide for frequent contact with you throughout the engagement period in order to facilitate delivery on your expected timeline.
Communication is essential in completing a compliance report and it starts in the planning process. Our planning begins with a kickoff call. The kickoff call is used to make introductions, identify key players, and points of contact. We also begin the process of understanding the services on which we will be providing an opinion. Where a readiness assessment has been requested, we establish the dates for the readiness work (for first-time reporters) and/or fieldwork (for recurring clients). In readiness, we assess the data flow of the services, identify controls, and provide a gap analysis of controls that may need implementation or improvement. The planning and readiness process is critical to creating open communication designed to obtain maximum efficiencies that will be realized later in the reporting process.
Once the audit plan is established, we create the request list of support items needed in our secure online dashboard, in preparation of and coordination with you for the testing phase. Between the time of the audit plan establishment and the testing, your team starts compiling your supporting documentation and uploading it to the secure online portal. Remember, we are there to help, so we invite open communication if you have any questions. This preparation is essential to an efficient and effective audit experience.
