Deliverables and engagement planning
The forensic audit scope identifies the output, review steps and information required from your team. Where a filing, report or certificate needs an eligible professional, that role is confirmed before the engagement proceeds. The proposal records fees, exclusions, dependencies and target milestones. Authority review, incomplete records or changes to the request can affect timing.
Discuss your requirement
