Financial Reporting Controls Audit

I am looking for a qualified auditor to independently test the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). The entire engagement will be handled remotely through a secure portal, so you must be comfortable collaborating online, requesting evidence, and maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the process.

Scope of work
We have already mapped our key processes and drafted a risk-control matrix. Your task is to:
• Validate those controls through walkthroughs and sample-based testing
• Prepare clear working papers that meet SOX/PCAOB documentation standards
• Highlight control gaps, quantify potential misstatement risk, and propose practical remediation steps
• Deliver a concise final report that management can share with our external auditors

Although this assignment centres on financial-reporting controls, the ability to comment on adjacent operational or compliance controls is a plus.

Tools & frameworks you should know
COSO, SOX-404, GAAP/IFRS, and common ERP environments (e.g., SAP, Oracle). Proficiency with Excel, ACL/IDEA, or similar data-analysis tools will help you work efficiently with our datasets.

What to include in your bid
Tell me about your experience performing ICFR or SOX audits—industry, company size, and any successful remediation projects. Please focus on relevant engagements rather than generic résumés; I want to see a brief snapshot of comparable work and the value you added.

Deliverables will be accepted once working papers are complete, findings are agreed upon, and the final report is signed off by management. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right expertise, so let me know how quickly you can mobilise.
