Separately Scoped Add-On
Accounting Policy Architecture

For complex areas like revenue recognition, inventory costing, asset amortization, or internal controls, this add-on creates a formally documented accounting policy built around your real operations, tested against actual transactions, and structured for internal or external review.

The project is structured in three phases, each scoped and engaged independently.

How it works

Three phases. Each scoped independently.

01

Policy drafted and tested

A formal accounting policy is drafted, tested against a reasonable sample of your actual transactions and workflows, and delivered as a complete draft ready for internal or external sign-off.

02

Audit and board support available

If needed, support is provided for external review processes including board presentations, audit calls, and post-meeting revisions tied directly to the Phase 1 policy draft.

03

Policy implementation available

When scoped, the finalized policy is applied into your accounting system through journal entries, reconciliations, and workbook configuration based on the completed policy documentation.

By Phase

What Each Phase Delivers

PHASE 1

Policy Testing and Drafting

Testing against actual transactions and workflows


Policy documentation scoped to your GL


Targeted meetings to refine the draft


Delivery of a fully tested policy draft

Concludes upon delivery of the tested policy draft. Material corrections included within 30 days.

PHASE 2

Audit and Board Support

Presentation prep and formatting


Attendance at board meetings or audit calls


Post-meeting revisions tied to Phase 1

Concludes 30 days after the last support service if no material activity toward external sign-off.

PHASE 3

Implementation

Journal entries and reconciliations


Workbook buildout or configuration


Up to 24 months of historical adjustments


Internal walk-through if requested

Concludes upon posting of all scoped entries and reconciliations tied to the finalized policy.

What's Not Included

New policies beyond the original scope


Forecasting or scenario modeling


Full population testing or audit-level assurance


Retroactive adjustment for business model changes after drafting


Ongoing maintenance or updates after delivery


Onsite work

All policies remain management-owned. Final approval and interpretation remain with management and/or the client’s auditor. Policies are structured under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) guidance using materiality considerations appropriate for the engagement.

Pricing

Separately scoped per engagement.

Each policy project is scoped and priced based on complexity, subject area, and system structure.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Usually starts at $6,000*
