TIME: 14:40 - 15:30
LOCATION: Boardroom 4 - Finance Hacks

Every year the audit fee rises, and finance is told it is simply the cost of assurance. But the fee follows the hours your auditor expects to spend, and finance controls much of what drives them: how far your controls can be relied on, how clean your data is and how many exceptions are still unexplained when fieldwork starts. This session shows how those hours are planned and why a sample of 25 can miss what testing every transaction finds in minutes. You’ll leave with five questions to ask your audit partner before year-end.
