Audit Support
Audit pressure is not created by complexity alone — it comes from tight timelines, increasing workloads, and the expectation of complete accuracy at every stage. At SA Globus, we provide structured outsourced audit support that helps firms manage engagements more efficiently without compromising quality. Our team integrates into your workflow to support critical execution tasks, from organizing PBC requests and maintaining supporting documentation to preparing clean, review-ready workpapers with proper cross-referencing and consistency.
With a process-driven approach and strong attention to detail, our audit support and documentation services help reduce rework, improve turnaround time, and create a smoother audit experience for your team. Our audit documentation support pairs well with our tax preparation services for CPA firms for firms looking to outsource across the full engagement cycle. Because when financial documentation is organized and reliable, audits become more predictable, efficient, and easier to manage. Firms relying on our CPA audit documentation support consistently report fewer review cycles and faster sign-off timelines.
Audit Support Across Key Engagement Types
We help CPA firms scale their engagement capacity and navigate peak season demands with structured, review-ready audit support across core audit specialties:
1. Financial Statement Audits (US GAAP)
We assist CPA practices in preparing comprehensive, review-ready audit workpapers in full compliance with US GAAP and AICPA auditing standards. From trial balance tie-outs and analytical procedures to lead schedule preparation, disclosure checklist verification, and draft footnote assembly, our team handles the execution details. This enables your audit senior managers and partners to streamline review cycles and deliver timely sign-offs.
2. SOC 1 & SOC 2 Compliance Support
Our team provides specialized workpaper and evidence-gathering support for SOC 1 (SSAE 18) reports and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria examinations (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, and Processing Integrity). We manage population sampling, perform initial control testing, map evidence to control frameworks, and organize system descriptions. By offloading time-consuming fieldwork, we allow your practice to handle more Type 1 and Type 2 engagements smoothly.
3. Employee Benefit Plan (401k) Audits
Navigating Department of Labor (DOL) and ERISA regulations requires precision during peak benefit plan audit season. We support CPA firms with participant eligibility verification, contribution and distribution testing, payroll reconciliations, and Form 5500 tie-outs. Our structured testing files strictly adhere to AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit standards, reducing backlogs and compliance risks.
4. Single Audits & Grant Compliance (Uniform Guidance)
For non-profits and local government entities expending federal awards, Single Audits under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200 Subpart F) require rigorous testing. We support your team by auditing Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) reconciliations, executing internal control tests, and documenting compliance across major federal programs. Our cross-referenced compliance files ensure clean audit trails and faster supervisor reviews.
5. Internal Controls & Operational Reviews
We assist audit and advisory teams in evaluating risk frameworks using established COSO guidelines. Our support includes mapping end-to-end business processes, drafting walkthrough documentation, identifying key control gaps, and testing operational effectiveness. We equip your firm to deliver high-value internal audit and risk assessment recommendations without straining your internal team.
