What is in the period package?
The package holds the trial balance, balance sheet, income statement, general ledger, journal entries, NAV report, portfolio valuation, expenses, share register, shareholder movements and investor allocations for the period. It can be sent by email as one archive.
How are changes traced?
Changes to fund records, subscriptions, redemptions, NAVs and the share register are written to audit tables. Rerunning a locked NAV period requires a written reason, which is kept. Adjustments the auditor proposes are recorded as proposed, accepted, rejected or voided.
What should the auditor agree early?
Agree the period-end date, the price source and valuation time, the list of bank, exchange and wallet accounts, and the sample of subscriptions and redemptions with the fund and the administrator before fieldwork starts.
