Finance professional reviewing ledgers and close documentation at a desk

Engagement

Month-End Close Audit Trail Review

Hands-on review of your period-end documentation chain—from journal entries and reconciliations to sign-offs—so finance can close with a clear, defensible trail.

Who it is for

Finance controllers, closing managers, and internal audit partners in Taiwan mid-market and listed companies who need a cleaner month-end evidence trail.

Result you leave with

A mapped audit trail for the close cycle, gap notes against your control narrative, and a practical remediation list your team can own before the next period end.

Scope

One full month-end close cycle (or a selected close window), covering key accounts, reconciling items, journal approval paths, and retention of supporting evidence.

Provider
Senior close specialist from the Datafluxx Juifang practice, with bilingual notes in English for group reporting teams.
Duration
Typically 8–12 working days spanning one close cycle, depending on entity count and binder complexity.
Delivery
Hybrid: document review can be remote; fieldwork at your Taipei-area office or our Juifang meeting room when evidence is paper-heavy.
Pricing basis
Fixed engagement fee based on number of entities and close complexity. Starting reference on the Rates page.

Included

  • Kickoff interview with the close owner and process owners for cash, revenue, inventory, and payroll (as applicable)
  • Walkthrough of the current close checklist, binder structure, and evidence storage locations
  • Sample testing of journal packages and reconciliations for completeness and sign-off timing
  • Written gap summary tied to each close step, not a generic control checklist
  • Working session to prioritize fixes for the next close

Not included

  • Statutory external audit opinions
  • Full ERP configuration or system administration
  • Ongoing secondment unless booked separately as Close Desk Support

How the engagement runs

  1. Scope call to confirm entities, systems, and close calendar
  2. On-site or remote document review during or immediately after close
  3. Gap workshop with the finance lead
  4. Final trail map and remediation brief delivered within five business days of fieldwork

Preparation

Share the prior month’s close checklist, sample reconciliations, and access to the evidence folder (read-only) before kickoff.

Constraints

We do not alter live ledgers. Findings are advisory; your controller remains responsible for posting and sign-off.
