Audit Evidence Engagement

From HK$48,000 per entity

Fixed fee after a scoping call. The starting figure suits a single private company with a straightforward balance sheet, one banking relationship, and a prior-year file we can reference. First-year audits, multi-currency groups, and entities with significant inventory or related-party activity are quoted higher once we review the trial balance and outstanding queries.

  • Includes evidence map, collection coordination, indexing, and handover memo
  • Excludes auditor testing, valuations, and legal opinions
  • Deposit: 30% on engagement letter; balance on handover

Working paper organisation

HK$6,800 per day, or fixed fee for a defined file

Day-rate work suits open-ended clean-ups. When the folder count and drive size are clear, we often convert to a fixed fee so finance sponsors can approve a single number.

Year-end evidence coordination

From HK$12,000 per week during the close window

Retainer covers request tracking, status notes, and escalation. Duration typically runs from draft PBC release through the agreed fieldwork start. Weeks outside the active close are not billed.

What changes the quote

  • Number of subsidiaries and reporting packs
  • Whether bank confirmations and third-party letters are already in flight
  • Quality of the prior-year evidence file
  • Need for on-site presence versus remote review only
  • Compressed timelines after books have already closed
