Frequently Asked Questions
How much does outsourced audit support cost compared to hiring in-house staff?
Unlike permanent staff, you only pay for the hours you need during audit season, eliminating overhead costs like benefits, training, and idle time during non-audit periods. Most firms see 30-50% cost savings while getting access to experienced professionals who specialize exclusively in audit work.
Is it safe to outsource sensitive audit work and client data?
Many CPAs remain hesitant about the risks of compliance and audit support services because of uncertainties surrounding the feasibility and safety of outsourcing critical audit tasks. But good audit support firms have way better security than most small practices. We’re talking military-grade encryption, locked-down systems, and NDAs that would make your lawyer proud. Plus, we carry more insurance than you probably do. The bigger risk is usually your intern’s laptop getting stolen from their car, not our secure data centers.
How quickly can outsourced audit teams start working on my engagement?
Professional audit support teams can typically begin work within 24-48 hours of engagement. Since they specialize exclusively in audit work, they don’t need extensive onboarding or training on audit procedures. With 24×7 availability and time zone advantages, offshore teams can work while your firm rests, effectively doubling your productive hours and helping you meet even the tightest deadlines.
What types of audit work can be outsourced safely and effectively?
You can outsource virtually all audit support functions including pre-audit preparation, workpaper compilation, account analysis, query responses, reconciliations, compliance testing, and post-audit documentation. CPA firms can outsource various services, including financial statement audits, compliance audits, internal audits, IRS audits, forensic audits, and sales tax audits. Maintaining oversight and review procedures while allowing specialists handle the detailed analytical work is the key.
How do I maintain quality control when working with an outsourced audit team?
Quality control is ensured through structured workflows, regular check-ins, and multi-level review processes. Professional audit support providers assign dedicated project managers, use standardized audit software, and implement quality checkpoints at each stage. You retain final review authority and can scale oversight based on the complexity of engagement. Many firms improve quality since outsourced teams focus solely on audit work without distractions from other client services.
These FAQs address the primary concerns, cost, security, timing, scope, and quality control that firms typically have when considering outsourcing audit support.
