I need a chartered, practising accountant to carry out an internal audit focused exclusively on our financial reporting. Your brief is to examine current statements, supporting schedules and the underlying bookkeeping data, then highlight any misstatements, control weaknesses or process gaps that could affect accuracy or timeliness. Scope • Internal audit only, no statutory external sign-off required. • Concentrate on financial reporting; operational or regulatory areas can remain out of scope for now, though feel free to flag any obvious issues you notice in passing. Deliverables 1. Audit plan outlining the sections you will test and the sampling method. 2. Working papers (spreadsheet or audit software export) showing test results. 3. A concise report for management that summarises findings, grades risks, and recommends corrective actions. I work with standard accounting platforms—QuickBooks Online for day-to-day bookkeeping and Excel for schedules—so familiarity with these, plus GAAP/IFRS rules, is essential. Remote access to the files can be arranged immediately; if you prefer on-site verification of any documents, let me know and I will schedule it. Please specify your estimated turnaround time and describe any similar internal audits you have completed.

Hi There, We can support this project from a basic accounting, bookkeeping, and reconciliation review perspective. Our team has Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors and Certified Xero Advisors, with experience reviewing QuickBooks Online data, Excel schedules, ledgers, and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness. Our scope can include checking bookkeeping entries, reconciling accounts, reviewing schedules against reports, identifying unreconciled balances or obvious reporting gaps, and preparing a concise summary of findings with suggested corrections. We can also maintain working papers in Excel showing the checks performed and exceptions noted. Please note that we typically work on an hourly basis and we do not provide statutory audit sign-off, tax preparation, tax filing, payroll processing, or regulated audit opinions. Estimated turnaround can be confirmed after reviewing the file volume, but we can usually start promptly once access is provided. Hit me up and we can talk in detail. Regards, Nikita and her team at Affiliazion (D)

An effective internal audit should do more than identify errors—it should strengthen the reliability of your financial reporting process. My approach is to review your financial statements, supporting schedules, and underlying records to identify misstatements, reconciliation issues, control gaps, and opportunities to improve reporting accuracy. As a Practising Chartered Accountant, I can prepare a structured audit plan, perform risk-based testing using your QuickBooks Online records and Excel schedules, document the working papers, and deliver a concise management report with prioritized findings and practical recommendations. If your objective is simply to verify balances, there are many professionals who can assist. However, if you want an audit that explains **why** issues occurred and how to strengthen your financial reporting process going forward, that's where my expertise adds value. The turnaround will depend on the volume of transactions and documents, and I'd be happy to discuss the scope before providing a detailed timeline.

Your need for a comprehensive internal audit focusing on accuracy and timeliness aligns with my expertise. While I'm new to Freelancer, I've spent years delivering quality work on time outside the platform. With proficiency in QuickBooks Online, Excel, and GAAP/IFRS rules, I ensure seamless and integrated audit processes. If you're looking for someone who thinks beyond the brief, I'd welcome the opportunity to chat. Regards, Warrick Van Eeden

Hi there, I'd be glad to conduct this internal financial reporting audit. As a practising Chartered Accountant with 10 years of experience, I'm well-suited to examining statements, supporting schedules, and bookkeeping data to surface misstatements, control weaknesses, or process gaps. I'm hands-on with QuickBooks Online and Excel, Xero Level 1, 2, and 3 certified, and well-versed in GAAP/IFRS standards — aligned with your platform and compliance needs. My approach: Audit plan — outline sections to test (revenue, expenses, reconciliations, journal entries, cut-off), define sampling method, set timeline Fieldwork — test transactions against source documents, verify reconciliations, review control points Working papers — Excel-based, with clear test results, exceptions noted, and evidence references Management report — concise summary of findings, risk-graded (high/medium/low), with corrective action recommendations I'll flag any obvious operational or regulatory concerns noticed in passing, even outside core scope. Turnaround: I can confirm a firm estimate once I know transaction volume and reporting period, but a typical audit of this scope can be completed within 1–2 weeks with remote access. Similar work: I've conducted internal reviews of financial reporting accuracy and control processes for small-to-mid-size businesses using the same reconciliation and misstatement-detection approach.
