Overview

Close periods compress finance capacity. Outstanding bank letters, lease schedules, inventory count sheets, and related-party confirmations arrive late or incomplete. We run the request list as a live tracker so partners and controllers see status without another status meeting.

Included

  • Setup of the request register against the evidence map
  • Assignment of owners and due dates for each item
  • Twice-weekly status notes during the active close
  • Escalation of overdue items to the named sponsor
  • Final completeness check before the agreed fieldwork date

Constraints

We coordinate collection; we do not replace the auditor’s testing or the client’s preparation of reconciliations. Items requiring external counsel or valuers remain with those specialists.
