Audit Support & Workpaper Preparation
Remote preparation of audit workpapers and schedules from records shared digitally.
Overview
Audit and review engagements include documentation work that can be prepared from records without being on site: lead schedules, reconciliations, supporting schedules, tie-outs and documentation checks. CA Alok Kumar Acharya previously worked at PwC and Grant Thornton, in accounting, taxation, audit and financial reporting, before establishing the firm. This service covers preparation work only. The engagement team keeps the testing, conclusions and client contact.
