“They mapped four subsidiaries onto one review calendar and caught an intercompany billing gap we had papered over for two closes. The draft findings meeting ran long, which we needed.”

“The health check on eliminations was narrower than a full review, which suited us before year-end. One ranking felt harsh relative to our headcount, but the exposure argument held.”
David Hsu · Consolidation Manager, Regional trading holding · Intercompany Control Health Check
“Walkthroughs showed our payment policy and the way assistants actually routed approvals were not the same document. We rewrote the matrix before the next lender pack.”

“Remediation calls between cycles kept owners honest. We closed nine of twelve items before the follow-up review; the remaining three had clear blockers we could take to the board.”

“Evidence pack guidance before fieldwork cut our back-and-forth roughly in half compared with the previous adviser’s open-ended requests.”

Four entities, one calendar
A Central Taiwan industrial parent brought AutoDevOps in after two subsidiaries missed internal control self-assessment deadlines while the trading arm stayed current. We rebuilt a shared compliance calendar, ran the flagship recurring review across all four entities, and left a ranked register. The next board pack used the same finding categories for every legal entity for the first time.
Constraint: manufacturing sites could only host walkthroughs on alternate Thursdays. Fieldwork was sequenced accordingly rather than forcing a single continuous week.
Eliminations before year-end close
A regional trading holding commissioned an intercompany control health check six weeks before year-end. Sample testing showed billing cut-offs that never matched the elimination schedule. The ranking felt severe to the consolidation manager given headcount, yet the exposure on unsettled balances justified the priority. Management closed the cut-off change before the external auditors arrived.
