Transaction & Audit Readiness
Getting the books, controls and disclosures ready before a deal or an audit begins.
The work that happens before the auditor or the acquirer arrives: finding what they will question, fixing it, and assembling the support so the process runs on schedule.
What this covers
Getting the books, controls and disclosures ready before a deal or an audit begins.
How an engagement starts
No group begins with a long transition. The first weeks are about establishing what is actually happening today, then agreeing what changes.
- 1
Scoping review
A short review of the current close, the controls around it and the reporting that comes off it — enough to say where the gaps actually are.
- 2
Scope and plan
What we take on, what stays with you, the calendar it runs to and who owns each deliverable, agreed in writing before anything moves.
- 3
Transition
Knowledge transfer, access, templates and a parallel run where it matters, so the handover does not land in the middle of a reporting cycle.
- 4
Run and report
Delivery to the agreed calendar with a standing review — what was delivered, what slipped, and what needs a decision from you.
