Built for audit partners and managers at large and mid-sized Australian firms running financial statement audits. Halo prepares the testing, runs the sampling, agrees the figures back to source, and explains its working in language a reviewer can read.
A team of four, three weeks at the client, a trial balance, twenty-something working papers, and hundreds of supporting documents. The hard work is the thinking. The slow work is the file gathering, the matching, and the tying out, and that's where most of an audit's hours actually go.
Drop the trial balance and the supporting evidence into a Job. Halo populates the workpapers, agrees the figures to source, picks the samples, and flags the exceptions, with every line citing the cell, the page, and the document. Your job becomes reading the file, asking the questions, and signing the opinion.
Populate the audit working papers straight from a trial balance, with every figure agreed back to its source, reconciled against the prior year, and citing the exact cell it came from.
Random, monetary unit, and risk weighted sampling. Halo explains why each row was chosen. Re run with a different seed and the working is repeatable.
Bank, intercompany, ledger to statement. Matched with citations. Breaks remain breaks until you accept them.
Variance against prior year, against budget, against the published peer comparables. Halo flags the lines worth a conversation.
Pull the cash flow forecast, model the sensitivities, and prepare the going concern memorandum. The auditor reviews the result; Halo does the drafting.
Draft the auditor’s report from the file. Every reference to the financial statements is checked back. No invented paragraphs.
A live session on your own trial balance and your own working papers, with your team in the room. Forty minutes.
