AUDIT AND ASSURANCE SUPPORT

Audit preparation and coordination, done before the auditor arrives.

Readiness, schedules, financial statement preparation and auditor liaison, kept separate from statutory audit opinions.

These are support services. Finsync prepares the file, assembles the schedules and coordinates with your external auditor, and does not issue regulated statutory audit opinions. The separation is deliberate and stated up front.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Eight deliverables across external and internal audit.

Preparation work is what shortens an audit. Most delay comes from schedules that do not tie and documentation nobody assembled.

HOW IT RUNS

Prepare, assemble, coordinate, improve.

The last stage is the one that pays off next year: controls and process reviews that remove the findings before they repeat.

01
Prepare
Audit readiness work against the ledger, with financial statement preparation from the accounting records.
02
Assemble
Audit schedules and supporting documentation compiled so each balance is traceable.
03
Coordinate
External audit coordination and auditor liaison, answering requests from the file rather than the client’s inbox.
04
Improve
Internal audit support, internal controls reviews and process reviews after the audit closes.
WITHOUT IT
Requests landing on the finance team mid-close
Schedules that do not tie to the ledger
The same findings raised every year
Statements drafted under audit deadline pressure
WITH FINSYNC
A prepared file before fieldwork starts
Schedules traceable to the accounting records
Controls and process reviews closing findings out
Statements prepared from reconciled books
COMMON QUESTIONS

Audit support, answered briefly.

Answered briefly here. A consultation covers the detail for your own structure and period.

Audit documentation being prepared

No. Audit and assurance support is clearly separate from regulated statutory audit opinions. Finsync prepares, assembles and coordinates; your appointed external auditor forms and issues the opinion.

WORKS WITH

Most files need two or three areas at once.

These are the areas this work usually runs alongside. One team covers all nine, so the work moves between them without moving between firms.
