Who it is for

Finance controllers, internal audit leads, and CFOs of mid-sized Hong Kong companies that already have a written expense policy and want an independent check of whether claims follow it. Typical clients process several hundred to a few thousand expense lines per quarter.

Result you receive

A dated exception listing tied to policy clauses, a summary of control gaps (approval timing, missing receipts, threshold breaches), and a short close-out memo you can share with audit committee members. We do not issue a statutory audit opinion.

Scope included

  • Kick-off to agree the claim period, categories in scope, and sampling method
  • Access setup for claim exports or portal read-only views
  • Testing of sampled lines against thresholds, approval chains, and excluded items in your policy
  • Draft findings for management comment
  • Final exception schedule and debrief (up to 90 minutes)

Scope excluded

  • Full financial statement audit
  • Payroll or tax filing review
  • Rewriting the expense policy (available as a separate engagement)
  • Continuous monitoring after the close-out date

Provider and process

Engagements are led by a Cloudapi Pro reviewer based in Central, with a second reviewer for sample cross-check on engagements above 400 tested lines. Work is performed against the policy version you designate at kick-off.

Preparation

Provide the current policy PDF, organisational chart for approvers, and claim export for the agreed period. Flag any known disputes or investigations so we can exclude or ring-fence those lines.

Pricing basis

Fees start at HK$48,000 for a single-entity sample of up to 150 tested lines. Larger populations and multi-entity groups are quoted after we see claim volume. See Fees for estimate factors.
