Frequently asked questions
What does Regent include in its Audit Preparation service?
Scope includes prepared-by-client list management, balance and schedule reconciliation, evidence-file assembly, and auditor query coordination. The proposal confirms entities, periods and exclusions.
When should we start and what will Regent need?
Start when the obligation, transaction, notice or deadline is known. Regent will issue a focused request list beginning with prepared-by-client list management, entity details, records and dates.
Can we check our position before committing to the full service?
Yes. Use the Audit Readiness Check for an initial indication, then route the result to the appropriate Regent advisor.
What documents should a company prepare before an audit?
A well-prepared audit file usually includes the final trial balance, general ledger, bank reconciliations and confirmations, receivables and payables ageing, inventory records, fixed-asset register, payroll summaries, contracts, legal and related-party information, tax returns, board or shareholder minutes, and support for significant estimates. Schedules should reconcile to the trial balance and have clear owners. Early preparation reduces rework and unresolved audit differences.
