Audit
Full packet application audit
A line-by-line review of one procurement approval application against your thresholds, attachments, and signature path.
Who this is for
Procurement teams and requesting divisions preparing a purchase approval application that must clear an internal threshold — capital equipment, multi-year services, or any packet likely to face questions on justification, quotes, or authority.
Result
You receive a dated audit memo that states whether the application is ready for the next approver, lists material gaps with page references, and notes residual judgement calls that only your committee can make. The memo is written to sit in the same file as the application.
Scope included
- Reading the application form, business case, comparative quotes, budget line references, and attached risk notes
- Checking required fields and attachments against the checklist you provide (or a standard Japanese corporate approval checklist if you have none written down)
- Verifying that stated amounts, currencies, and tax treatments are consistent across pages
- Confirming the signature and routing path matches your stated matrix for that value band
- A findings memo in English (Japanese summary available on request)
Outside this engagement
We do not negotiate with suppliers, rewrite your procurement policy, or decide whether the purchase should proceed. We do not certify legal compliance with public-tender law unless that review is commissioned separately.
Process
- Intake — You send the draft packet (PDF or shared folder) and your threshold / routing rules.
- Clarifying call — A short call to confirm urgency, known weak spots, and who will read the memo.
- Audit reading — We mark findings against a structured worksheet.
- Memo delivery — Written findings, optional 45-minute walkthrough with the requester.
Preparation
Have the latest draft, not an outdated copy. Include rejected earlier versions only if you want us to track what changed. Redact personal employee numbers if your privacy rules require it; leave supplier names and amounts intact.
Constraints
Rush turnarounds under five business days are limited to packets under roughly 40 pages. Packets with extensive technical drawings may need a subject specialist you nominate; we coordinate but do not substitute for engineering sign-off.
Next step
Request this audit and note “Full packet” in your message. We confirm fee and calendar within two business days.
