Engagement process
From scoping call to final workpaper pack — what happens when you engage Cloudscaleapps on a lease portfolio.
- 1
Scoping call
We confirm reporting framework, year-end date, entity count, and approximate leases. You leave with a draft information list and a fee range.
- 2
Engagement letter
Scope, sample approach, timeline, fees, and confidentiality are set in writing. Work begins after the deposit clears.
- 3
Information request
Register extract, largest contracts, rate memos, prior-year notes, and modification logs. We flag gaps early rather than pausing mid-fieldwork.
- 4
Fieldwork
Walkthroughs, recalculations, and interviews. Interim findings are shared verbally so your team can gather missing files without waiting for the draft report.
- 5
Close-out and pack
Draft report, management responses, final findings, and a workpaper index your statutory auditors can navigate.
Timing relative to year-end
For March reporters we prefer to start fieldwork by late January. For December reporters, October starts leave room for remediation. Compressed programmes are possible; they require a written sample limit so expectations stay honest.
Who you will meet
A senior lease accounting lead runs the kick-off and close-out. A fieldwork associate maintains the query log. You will not be asked to re-explain the portfolio to a rotating cast each week.
Ready to begin?
