Who delivers the work

Senior grant compliance auditors based in Taipei, with field visits arranged when ledgers and source files cannot travel.

How the work proceeds

  1. Intake call to confirm awards, periods, and review drivers
  2. Document request list and sampling plan
  3. Desk testing plus optional on-site walkthrough
  4. Findings debrief and written report delivery

Timeline

Typically three to six weeks from complete document receipt, depending on award volume and sample size.

What to prepare

Constraints

We audit against the award terms you provide; we do not rewrite program design or replace your internal finance team.
