Audit Support Services for CPA and Accounting Firms
Busy season does not move, and neither do partner sign-off deadlines. Our audit support services give licensed audit and accounting firms trained staff who prepare and progress the file on your methodology. You review, conclude and sign. We never act as auditor of record.
What our offshore audit support covers

- IT general controls and application controls testing support
Audit support outsourcing for CPA firms
We work in your audit software and templates, follow your sampling and documentation standards, and raise review points clearly. The result is a file your manager can review rather than rebuild, and partners who sign on schedule.
Working papers preparation and substantive testing
Our teams prepare complete, cross-referenced working papers and perform substantive testing across revenue, receivables, payables, fixed assets, inventory and cash, documented so the evidence and the conclusion are easy to follow.
Independence, protected by design
We provide preparation and support work only. The audit opinion, every judgment and the sign-off remain entirely with the licensed engagement firm. We do not provide audit support on an engagement where we have also prepared the client's accounting records.
External and regulatory audit support for companies
Companies facing an external or regulatory audit can use us on the other side of the table: preparing schedules and reconciliations requested by auditors, organizing supporting documents, and closing audit queries quickly so the audit finishes on time and with fewer adjustments.
A Canadian CPA firm faced peak-season capacity limits across several audit engagements. We prepared working paper files, lead schedules and substantive testing across three of its audit clients to the firm's own methodology. Partners signed off on schedule, with no additional permanent headcount.
