Assurance & Workpaper Platforms We Master
Zero software ramp-up lag. Our virtual audit assistants arrive thoroughly trained in the engagement systems, confirmation tools, and intelligent vouching software used across national and boutique audit practices.
Daily Mandates Handled by Your External Audit VA
Focus on technical accounting judgments, partner risk assessments, and executive committee sign-offs. Your dedicated assistant manages the tedious vouching, confirmation tracking, PBC clearing, and workpaper roll-forwards.
PBC Request List Ingestion & Chasing
Eliminate the chaos of incomplete client uploads. Your VA monitors Suralink, Caseware Cloud, or custom PBC Excel trackers daily, verifying that received files match the requested format, flagging missing support early, and sending professional client chaser updates.
- Real-time tracking across Suralink, Teams, or Excel trackers
- Initial verification of trial balances, GL details & schedules
Electronic Confirmations (Confirmation.com)
Audit confirmations are notoriously time-sensitive. Your VA stages bank balances, outstanding debt facilities, legal letters, and AR/AP external confirmation requests via Confirmation.com, cross-checks respondent authorizations, logs confirmations received, and flags exceptions for senior review.
- Staging bank accounts, lines of credit & legal letters
- Confirmation logging, tie-back to leads, and exception flags
DataSnipper Document Matching & Vouching
Accelerate Test of Details (ToD). Your assistant leverages DataSnipper to snip invoices, bills of lading, bank statements, purchase orders, and customer contracts directly into Excel workpapers, establishing clear visual cross-references and calculating exact mathematical tickmarks.
- Automated document snips for revenue & OPEX sample testing
- Traceability to source documentation with zero missing links
Lead Schedule Roll-Forwards & TB Mapping
Get engagements off the ground immediately. Your VA executes prior-period workpaper roll-forwards in CCH Engagement or Caseware, updates prior-year audited numbers, maps current-year trial balances, verifies chart-of-accounts mapping, and flags unmapped accounts.
- Prior-period balance roll-forwards and formula verifications
- Trial balance grouping, mapping and discrepancy alerts
Substantive Testing & Sampling Worksheets
Free senior auditors from repetitive tabulations. Your VA generates random or monetary-unit sampling schedules, reconciles subsidiary ledgers (AR aging, fixed asset registers, inventory counts) to the general ledger, and checks addition/extension calculations across client exhibits.
- Sub-ledger to GL reconciliations and footing/cross-footing
- Sample extraction based on partner-defined materiality thresholds
Financial Statement Footnote & Report Tie-Out
Prevent embarrassing typos or disclosure errors before final report delivery. Your assistant methodically ties out every single line item and footnote figure in draft financial statements back to finalized audit leads, verifying mathematical accuracy and standard disclosure consistency.
- Line-by-line financial statement tie-out to audited working papers
- Verification of footnote references, math tables, and headers
