Master the Monthly Close: Discover why reconciling all balance sheet accounts monthly with full support documentation eliminates approximately 80% of annual audit pain.
Build a Professional Auditor Relationship: Understand how open communication and clear documentation can streamline the process and even lead to minor fixes being allowed on the spot.
