Audit support schedules for Australian businesses

A named person on our team owns your file and reviews everything that leaves it. Software does a real share of the grinding underneath it — coding, matching, flagging the obvious gaps — but nothing regulated happens without a person’s judgement, and nothing here is signed or filed by an algorithm.

No — audit support schedules is operational work inside your books, not something submitted to ATO. Where a filing does sit downstream of it, inside for accounting firms more broadly, that stays with your registered BAS or tax agent, never with us.

Whatever you already run. Most commonly QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage, Zoho Books and a handful of others — we work inside your system rather than moving you onto one of our own.

A short, free read-only look at what you already have, and a written note on what we found. A scoping call decides the size of the engagement — nothing here commits you to anything.

There is no published price for audit support schedules — it depends on volume, how many entities are involved, and how far behind the books are. We quote after the read-only review, which is free.

Audit support schedules sits inside for accounting firms, alongside White-label bookkeeping, Workpaper preparation, Return preparation support. Most clients end up buying the category as a whole rather than one leaf at a time, but starting narrow is fine.

We work from the PBC items and population data your engagement team provides — we don't initiate contact with your client independently. The client relationship, the engagement letter, and every communication with the client stay entirely with your firm.

Client data is used only for the schedules and confirmations your engagement team specifies, under the confidentiality terms of our arrangement with your firm — never shared, retained beyond the engagement, or repurposed for another client. We can work through whatever confidentiality deed your firm requires before any client data changes hands.

That evaluation belongs to your firm, not to us — we don't perform audit procedures, form conclusions, or join the engagement team, which is the distinction that matters for a self-review threat analysis. We prepare schedules and organise evidence; your engagement team documents whatever safeguards APES 110 requires.

No — we track the outstanding confirmation and send follow-up rounds on the schedule your team sets, but the decision to pursue an alternative procedure or escalate under ASA 505 stays with your engagement team.

No. Those are set by your engagement team under ASA 530 in your firm's audit methodology before we see the file. We work downstream of that judgment — pulling the sample items, building the schedules — never upstream of it.

The schedule-and-confirmation work is the same underlying task whichever trigger applies — Corporations Act, ACNC audit, or ACNC review. We build to whatever schedule set and PBC list your engagement team specifies for that tier.

None. Every schedule we hand back is a working document for your team to test, review, and sign off on inside your own file. It carries no standing until your engagement team, and ultimately the Registered Company Auditor, has reviewed it.

The engagement, the opinion, and the liability behind it stay entirely with your firm — we're a preparer of underlying schedules, not a party to the engagement or the opinion. Most firms handle this with a written scope, a confidentiality term, and our work product treated as your firm's own workpaper once it's in the file.

Yes — that's the point of the service during the season when almost every 30 June client wants fieldwork started in the same window. Each engagement is scoped and tracked separately, so client data and schedules never cross between files.

They're handed over as part of your workpaper file and retained only per whatever retention or destruction terms your firm specifies in the engagement scope — we don't keep an independent copy for our own use afterward.
