Audit Preparation

Don’t Sweat It!

Diedrich Consulting provides PCAOB and financial audit preparation and readiness services designed to help issuers and growth companies enter an audit with confidence—and get through it efficiently. Whether you’re preparing for a PCAOB audit, an independent GAAS audit, a review, or audit support tied to SEC reporting, OTC disclosure, financings, or M&A, we help you build an audit-ready finance function with clean support, consistent tie-outs, and disciplined processes.

We act as the bridge between management and auditors by organizing the documentation auditors actually need and strengthening the underlying reporting foundation, including:

● Audit planning and readiness assessments (gap identification, timeline build, and deliverable mapping)
● Financial statement tie-outs and support schedules (cash, AR/AP, inventory, fixed assets, debt, equity, and roll-forwards)
● Close process and documentation discipline to reduce last-minute scrambles and repeated questions
● Internal control and workflow support (policies, approvals, segregation of duties, and evidence retention—scaled to your business)
● Revenue recognition and transaction documentation support, especially where contracts, variable consideration, or complex arrangements are involved
● Cap table and equity issuance support (share activity reconciliation, board approvals, and transfer agent alignment)
● Management Q&A and audit request management to keep responses consistent, timely, and well-supported

Our goal is simple: reduce audit friction while improving the credibility of your financial reporting and financial communication. The result is faster audit cycles, fewer surprises, stronger stakeholder confidence, and a finance function that’s better prepared for ongoing reporting, capital raising, and strategic transactions.
