Audit request workflow

How the portal moves an audit from request to report

The client portal is designed around the real trust account audit lifecycle: scope first, complete records next, targeted follow-up when needed, and final documents when the audit is complete.

1

Log in with email

Enter your email and verify with a one-time code. The portal is designed for clients who only need to log in during audit season.

2

Start with your ABN

Your ABN helps identify the business, match the engagement to the correct state and profession, and reduce setup back-and-forth.

3

Confirm audit scope

Profession, state, audit period, trust account activity, software, and deadline details are captured before audit work begins.

4

Upload records securely

Use the checklist to upload bank statements, reconciliations, ledgers, reports, software exports, and supporting documents.

5

Answer targeted queries

If something is missing, the audit team can request the specific item instead of restarting a paper or email handover.

6

Receive final documents

When the audit is complete, final reports and supporting documents are made available through the portal for easier retrieval later.

Portal capability

Everything needed for online audit document collection

The portal keeps the client and audit team aligned without relying on paper packs, repeated in-person handovers, or scattered email attachments.

State-aware checklist

Document requests are shaped by the client's profession, state, audit period, and trust account activity.

Secure upload

Audit records are uploaded through the portal instead of being spread across paper packs, inboxes, or shared drives.

Follow-up requests

Missing statements, reconciliations, ledgers, or reports can be requested clearly and actioned online.

Audit status visibility

Clients can see where the request sits, what is outstanding, and what has already been submitted.

Final document archive

Completed audit reports and engagement documents stay organised in the portal so clients can download them when needed.

Onshore support

Client services, audit coordination, and client portal data management are handled in Australia.

Online versus paper

Why the portal saves time and reduces audit friction

Online audit delivery does not lower the professional audit standard. It removes avoidable workflow delays around appointments, travel, handover, missing records, and duplicated admin.

Area
Traditional process
AuditsPro portal workflow
Appointments and travel
Clients may need to book a meeting, travel to the auditor, hand over files, and repeat the process if a record is missing.
Clients can upload documents online when convenient, including between meetings or after hours.
Document collection
Paper files, email attachments, shared drives, and manual handover can make it hard to see what has been received.
The checklist keeps requested documents, uploads, and outstanding items in one workflow.
Missing records
A missing bank statement or reconciliation may only be found after the auditor has started reviewing the pack.
The audit team can send targeted requests for the missing item without restarting the handover process.
Sensitive files
Trust account records can end up spread across inboxes, file shares, and physical folders.
Portal uploads support controlled access and structured document handling for audit records.
Final document retrieval
Final reports and engagement documents can be buried in old email threads or saved in different local folders.
Final audit documents are kept in the portal so clients can return later and download the records they need.
Pricing control
More admin, travel, repeated follow-up, and unclear scope can increase cost uncertainty.
A clearer scope and lower admin overhead support fixed-fee proposals before work begins.
The cost advantage comes from workflow efficiency: less travel, fewer appointment delays, clearer checklists, targeted missing-document requests, digital workpapers, and lower administrative overhead. It does not mean reduced audit care or reduced professional judgement.

FAQ

Client portal questions

Short answers for firms comparing online audit portals, secure uploads, and portal-based trust account audit delivery.

What is the AuditsPro client portal?

The AuditsPro client portal is the online workflow used to request a trust account audit, confirm audit scope, upload records securely, track missing documents, respond to audit team queries, and receive final audit documents.

How does the portal support an online trust account audit?

The portal keeps intake, ABN details, state-aware scope, document checklists, secure uploads, missing-record requests, audit status, and final documents in one workflow. This reduces paper handling, travel, and repeated email follow-up while preserving the required audit evidence review.

Can I upload documents when I am free?

Yes. The portal is designed for asynchronous document collection. Clients can upload requested records when convenient, such as between meetings or after hours, instead of arranging another visit to deliver one missing document.

Will final audit documents stay in the portal?

Yes. AuditsPro may still communicate by email for notifications and practical follow-up, but final audit reports, engagement documents, and supporting audit documents can be kept in the client portal so they are easier to retrieve later without searching through old inbox threads.

Is the client portal safe for trust account records?

The portal uses secure upload, controlled access, and encryption in transit and at rest for important audit information. Client services, audit coordination, and portal data management are handled onshore in Australia, and client portal audit documents are managed on Australian AWS infrastructure, including the Sydney region.

Does the portal replace the auditor's judgement?

No. The portal improves workflow and document handling. The auditor still reviews evidence, asks questions where needed, applies professional judgement, and follows the reporting pathway that applies to the client's state and profession.

Why does the portal help keep fees competitive?

A structured online workflow reduces travel, appointment coordination, paper handling, repeated document chasing, and unclear scope. AuditsPro uses that lower overhead and modern audit technology to support fixed-fee pricing before audit work begins.
