Engagement
Full Procurement Audit Review
A structured examination of purchase orders, receipts, and invoices against your procurement policy, with a finding register ready for finance committee discussion.
Who this engagement is for
Finance and purchasing leaders who need an independent view of how requisitions become payments. Typical clients are mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and group companies in Taiwan facing a scheduled internal audit, a new CFO mandate, or follow-up after control gaps surfaced in prior years.
Result you receive
A finding register keyed to purchase documents, risk ratings tied to your policy thresholds, and remediation notes that name the control owner. We do not leave you with a generic maturity score — each exception cites the PO, vendor, and control that failed.
Scope
Included
- Agreeing the spend population and sample design with you
- Testing three-way match completeness for sampled transactions
- Checking authorization against your matrix and contract rates
- Interviewing buyers and AP clerks on exception handling
- Draft report, management comments window, and final PDF register
Excluded
- Full financial statement audit opinions
- Continuous monitoring software installation
- Negotiation with suppliers on your behalf
- Forensic litigation support (available as a separate scoping discussion)
Process and timeline
- Scoping call (half day) — period, systems of record, and locations of paper files.
- Fieldwork (two to four weeks) — sampling, walkthroughs, and exception follow-up.
- Closing (one week) — draft findings, your comments, final register and presentation.
Preparation from your side: export of the PO/AP population, access to contracts for top vendors, and a named liaison who can pull supporting documents within 48 hours.
Constraints
We examine what your files can substantiate. Missing contracts or incomplete goods-receipt records become findings themselves rather than silent assumptions. Travel outside Taipei Hsien/New Taipei/Taipei City may add travel days to the fee.
