Engagement Process

Treasury control reviews only help if everyone knows when we will be on the floor and what we need beforehand. This page sets out the sequence we use for the flagship review and, in shortened form, for focused examinations.

1. Scoping call

A thirty- to forty-five-minute conversation with your finance sponsor. We confirm legal entities, bank accounts, payment channels, and whether regional hubs touch Hong Kong cash. You leave with a draft perimeter and an indicative fee range.

2. Proposal and deposit

We issue a short engagement letter: scope, exclusions, timing, fee, and confidentiality. A 30% deposit holds the fieldwork window. See Fees and Refunds.

3. Evidence request

Before arrival you receive a checklist typically covering:

• Current bank mandates and signatory lists
• Payment authority / approval matrices
• Sample reconciliations for agreed months
• Recent exception or incident logs
• Organisation chart for treasury and AP release roles

Incomplete mandates are the most common reason visits slip by a week.

4. Floor review

We walk payment and reconciliation processes with the people who actually press the buttons — not only with the policy owners. Where possible we observe a live payment run. Interviews are scheduled around your cut-off times; we do not expect your desk to pause month-end for us.

5. Findings pack and close-out

You receive a ranked findings list with evidence references, a simple control map of in-scope accounts, and a remediation briefing. We hold a close-out meeting with your sponsor; audit-committee attendance is optional and billed only if extra preparation is required.

What we need from you

A single internal coordinator, timely access to documents, and honest flagging of known weak spots. Surprises during fieldwork waste everyone’s calendar.
