Audit and Accounting Firm Support

FAQ

Questions about audit and accounting firm support

Do you sign audit reports?

No audit opinion or regulated assurance work is implied by this service. Professional judgement and sign-off stay with the engaging firm unless separately authorised and agreed.

How is client confidentiality handled?

We agree confidentiality terms before any work begins and follow your firm’s procedures for handling client information, as agreed with you.

Can we start with a small assignment?

Yes. A defined pilot is a sensible way to begin, and the scope can grow once you are comfortable with the arrangement.
