Process

From brief to findings letter

Audits for fintech succeed when everyone knows the rhythm. This page shows how Connectivity Cloud runs an engagement before you ever open a shared folder.

Planner notebook with handwritten schedule
  1. 1. Brief intake

    You send licence status, product lines, and the review window. We confirm conflict checks and reply within two business days with fit or a polite decline.

  2. 2. Scope lock

    A written scope note fixes sample populations, sites, deliverables, and fee. Fieldwork does not start until both sides sign the note.

  3. 3. Evidence pull

    Your liaison gathers policy packs and extracts. We provide a checklist so operations are not inventing folders under pressure.

  4. 4. Walkthroughs

    On-site or hybrid sessions test how KYC, settlement, and complaint handling actually run. Staff keep their day jobs; we work in half-day blocks.

  5. 5. Challenge round

    Provisional findings are discussed with process owners. Factual corrections are welcome; ranking disagreements are recorded, not erased.

  6. 6. Findings delivery

    You receive the letter, evidence index, and a closing briefing. Clarification calls remain open for fourteen days.

Typical calendars

  • Regulatory readiness: four to six weeks
  • Transaction sampling: two to three weeks
  • Complaint assessment: about two weeks
  • Diligence support: three to five weeks

What you prepare

  • Named liaison with folder access
  • Current policy pack and org chart for controls
  • Reserved walkthrough slots on the operations calendar
  • Clarity on whether findings must be bilingual
