Features include automatic document management, a secure network, the ability to download the confirmations directly into electronic workpapers and a rollforward capability that eliminates the preparation time for both the auditor and the client that is required with traditional manual paper-based confirmations. The Capital Confirmation service ensures the auditor is in control and is used by both external and internal auditors to improve and streamline the confirmation process.
By contacting Clark Hudgins at Capital Confirmation and mentioning your membership with AuditNet, you will receive all the benefits of a secure confirmation service for an AuditNet member discounted price of $25 per confirmation versus the standard $30 price per confirmation.
CashFlow Guardian ("CFG") offers packaged software for Recovery Audit and Audit Control, and AuditNet.org members receive a ten percent (10%) discount off of any CFG products.
The CFG software is built for ease-of-use-- it runs on any Windows laptop, PC or server. CFG takes an A/P data load from any accounting software system, and instantly runs our "canned" rules. One set of rules is for Recovery Audit-- the software automatically checks for duplicate payments, incorrect freight, missed discounts, etc. You then review these flagged items, and the software facilitates recovery from vendors by making the finding easy to print/fax/email. So instead of A/P "leakage" of .1-.5% per year (the industry average), you can bring this down to zero.
Another set of rules is for Audit Control-- you take an A/P and an A/R dataload, and CFG automatically scans your data and reports on adherence to audit objectives (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley).
To obtain the 10% discount, you must be an AuditNet.org member, and then use the following code upon checkout from the CFG online store at www.CashFlowGuardian.com: AUDITNET_ORG.
