Resources

Completing your assurance report is not an easy task within a fixed fee. Delegating tasks to help collate audit evidence, will allow you to spread the workload across various levels of staff helping to reduce costs and overloading of individual capacity.

Create a budget

Creating a budget prior to kick off will allow you to keep track the actual time and money you have spent completing your AAF. By regularly reviewing the budget you are able to monitor whether you are keeping within the fixed fee. We suggest reviewing time spent on previous years AAFs and seek to reduce the time yearly as the process becomes more familiar.

Regular collation of evidence

We understand collating evidence by trawling though historic data can be a tedious task. To eliminate time delays in completing your AAF report, we suggest collating evidence steadily throughout the reporting period. Evidence can be provided to your auditor early to allow an immediate kick off to the project.
