The audit is conducted against the reference documents:
The auditee shall provide a summary of 75 client assignments. The summary consists of client names, client numbers, or file numbers, or a combination thereof. The auditee attaches a statement from a bookkeeper, accountant, office manager, management, owner showing that the summary was prepared truthfully. Global Network Group selects two client engagements and informs the auditee.
Global Network Group requests that the auditee provides: - Two client files - CV including summary of scope relevant experience and qualifications (trainings, registrations, certifications, recognitions, memberships) - Other documents at the discretion of Global Network Group
Submission is via WETRANSFER or online access.
A client file contains at least: - Proof of assignment confirmation and completion. - Copy applied terms and conditions and work procedure(s) as specified in the order confirmation - Copy invoices and the invoice basis (such as price list, time records) - Notes, correspondence (copy letters, email, text message, whatsapp etc), reports, minutes - Other documents at the discretion of Global Network Group
