Analyst reviewing charts and documents during a spend examination

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

  1. Scoping call (half day) — period, systems of record, and locations of paper files.
  2. Fieldwork (two to four weeks) — sampling, walkthroughs, and exception follow-up.
  3. 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.
