Partial submissions. Stops and restarts. Frustrated clients (and team). Sound familiar? This checklist gives audit teams a repeatable framework for engagement readiness, timing, and follow-up control.

  • A comprehensive engagement timeline
  • Readiness checkpoints to reduce stops and restarts
  • Guidance to protect utilization and prevent overruns
  • A simple "start vs pause" approach to fieldwork timing

Inside the checklist

A repeatable framework for every engagement.

Readiness, timing, and follow-up control in one place, so fieldwork starts when the work is actually ready.

Engagement timeline

A comprehensive timeline that maps each phase of the engagement from planning to final deliverable.

Readiness checkpoints

Checkpoints to confirm the client is ready before your team starts, to reduce stops and restarts.

Utilization guidance

Guidance to protect utilization and prevent overruns caused by work that isn't ready.

Start vs. pause

A simple "start vs pause" approach to deciding when fieldwork should begin.

Sound familiar?

Stop starting engagements that aren't ready to start.

When teams begin fieldwork before the client is ready, the engagement stalls, staff sit idle, and the budget slips. The checklist gives you a simple way to decide when to go and when to wait.
