Methodology

How an engagement moves from scoping to signed memorandum

A service-model page for finance leads who want to see the sequence before booking audits for fintech work with Maple Crest.

Professional reviewing printed methodology notes

  1. Scoping interview

    We map products, banks, entities, and the decision the memorandum must support — licence renewal, board pack, or buyer diligence. Materiality ranges are drafted before fieldwork dates are held.

  2. Document room and freeze

    Trial balances, settlement packs, and policy binders land in a shared room. Periods freeze so sample populations stay stable while confirmations arrive.

  3. Fieldwork and observation

    Substantive testing and control walkthroughs run on-site in Kinmen or Taipei, or through remote observation of a live close when ferry logistics intervene.

  4. Factual clearance

    Draft observations circulate to finance owners for correction of facts. Rankings follow only after ownership and wording are agreed.

  5. Closing briefing

    The signed memorandum and management letter are walked through with finance and compliance leads. Remediation owners leave with dates, not slogans.
