Making Sure You’re Audit Ready When It Counts
Whether they’re required by regulatory agencies, financial institutions, or your stakeholders — audits, including capital markets audits, are an unavoidable part of doing business. However, capital markets audit preparation, like all audit readiness efforts, requires a lot of extra effort on top of regular operations. The process can overwhelm your team and quickly go awry without a strategic plan.
But with the help of Centri’s audit support experts, you can find preparation services tailored to fit your specific needs – whether it’s a capital markets audit or another financial review. We’ll help get you audit-ready, so you can focus on what you do best — running a successful business.
Here are the key steps of audit readiness you can take to set yours up for success:
Assess the internal capabilities of your team to handle the audit on top of their regular duties.
Communicate openly with your auditor in regard to the timeline and any concerns, related requests, and questions about the process
Bring together or prepare documentation showing the performance of your company’s internal controls.
Create a record of your accounting policies, and formalize details surrounding complex accounting scenarios. An audit consultant can help you strategize the right structure.
Review your accounts and internal financials, ensuring that balance sheet reconciliations, analysis, and other auditor requested reports are correct and ready.
