Common questions

How long does an audit take?

It depends on your size, your records, and how quickly requests are answered. Most first-year audits take several weeks from planning to report. Tell us your deadline at the start and we'll plan backward from it.

We've never been audited. What should we expect?

A first-year audit takes more setup, especially for opening balances. We'll walk you through the process and give you a request list early so your team can prepare.
