Common questions
A practical extension of your team.
Can you support our firm under our brand?
White-label arrangements can be discussed as part of the engagement. Client contact, branding, approvals and confidentiality are agreed before work begins.
Who approves the final work?
Your designated reviewer approves the work. Responsibility for regulated opinions, advice and submissions remains with the appointed engagement professional unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Do you offer fixed turnaround times?
Turnaround is agreed after reviewing scope, volume, record quality and review requirements. Dependencies and response times should be included in the work plan.
What do you need for a quotation?
Share the type of work, number of entities, transaction volumes, software, sample deliverables, deadlines and review requirements. Avoid sending sensitive client records until access arrangements are agreed.
