Work we will put in an engagement letter

Primary service

Portfolio dashboard application audit

We test whether the application behind a portfolio dashboard produces figures that can be supported from source files, approved mappings, and documented calculation rules.

Typically four to eight weeks, depending on data sources and the number of dashboard views in scope.

Valuation and performance calculation review

We re-perform a sample of valuations and returns using the same sources the application claims to use, then explain every difference that is not a rounding remainder.

Two to five weeks for a focused sample; longer if multiple return methodologies sit in the same application.

Service detail

Data lineage and control mapping

We draw the path of holdings, cash, and transactions so that an internal auditor can see where a break can hide.

Three to six weeks, longer where several custodians and a warehouse sit between the file and the tile.

Service detail

Access, change, and exception controls

We review user roles, change tickets, and override behaviour so that a published dashboard figure can be tied to an accountable person.

Two to four weeks.

Service detail

Pre-implementation application review

We test configuration, migration, and parallel-run evidence while there is still time to delay go-live.

Timed to the vendor’s parallel-run window, often three to seven weeks.

Service detail

Remediation and re-testing

We re-test closed items and say plainly whether the original exception still exists.

One to three weeks per cycle, scheduled after the client has had time to act.
