All dollar and hour figures in this report are illustrative estimates derived from the uploaded file. Actual outcomes vary by engagement scope, audit-firm procedures, and prior-period remediation. Auditus.ai does not guarantee specific savings.

01 · Why this report

Depth, actions, red flags — by document.

This sample is a complete pre-audit readiness analysis of Falcon Creek Resources Inc.. 23 findings cover financial completeness, supporting documentation, internal controls, disclosure readiness, prior-period remediation, and risk assessment.

Every finding is anchored to a specific document and, where applicable, a specific row, cell, or paragraph — with an observed value, an expected value, and the exact question your auditor will ask. No vague generalities.

02 · Readiness by category

ITGC walkthrough missing for post-cutover ERP environment

Document: ITGC documentation (access, change, operations)
Line / cell: Missing — no walkthrough memo for the post-cutover ERP environment (Oct 15, 2025 → Mar 31, 2026)
Observed
No file uploaded for /controls/itgc/ during the post-cutover period
Expected
A CAS 315-compliant walkthrough covering access provisioning, change management, and batch monitoring for the new ERP, plus a SoD matrix and the period access review
Description

The issuer migrated to a new ERP on October 15, 2025. No ITGC walkthrough or change-management documentation has been uploaded for the post-cutover environment. CAS 315 (Revised) requires the auditor to understand IT general controls relevant to financial reporting; without documentation, the auditor cannot rely on automated controls and must expand substantive procedures across Q3 and Q4.

The auditor will ask

"Walk us through the design and operating effectiveness of access, change management, and computer operations over the new ERP. What controls migrated and which are new?"

Recommended remediation

Engage the IT lead to produce a CAS 315-compliant walkthrough memo covering access provisioning, change management, and batch monitoring for the new ERP. Provide segregation-of-duties matrix and screenshots of the access review for the period October 15, 2025 to fiscal year-end.

Two prior-year CAS 265 significant deficiencies remain open

Document: Prior-year management letter (CAS 265)
Line / cell: CAS 265 letter, items 1 and 2 — (a) journal-entry review/approval, (b) audit-committee estimate review
Observed
No current-year remediation log uploaded for either prior-year significant deficiency
Expected
Signed JE-review log + AC minutes evidencing quarterly review of significant estimates, mapped to each prior-year finding
Description

The prior-year CAS 265 letter identified (a) absence of formal journal-entry review and approval, and (b) inadequate review of management estimates by the audit committee. Auditus.ai cannot find current-year remediation evidence for either. CAS 265 requires re-evaluation; absent remediation evidence, both will roll forward and likely escalate.

The auditor will ask

"What did management do this year to address the two prior-year significant deficiencies? Show the remediation evidence and operating-effectiveness testing."

Recommended remediation

Upload (a) the journal-entry review log signed by the Controller for the year, and (b) the audit committee minutes evidencing review of management's significant estimates each quarter. Map each piece of evidence to the prior-year finding.

Bank confirmations not yet requested for three accounts opened in Q3

Document: Chart of accounts
Line / cell: GL accounts 10010, 10011, 10012 — three new bank accounts added in Q3
Observed
Three new bank accounts present in COA diff; no confirmation tracker entry for them
Expected
Bank confirmation requests initiated for all three accounts, tracked in the audit PBC tracker
Description

Three new bank accounts were opened in Q3 (per GL chart-of-accounts diff). No bank confirmation has been initiated for these accounts. CAS 505 requires confirmations for material balances; without responses by report date, the auditor cannot conclude on existence.

The auditor will ask

"Are bank confirmations out for every account open during the year? When were they sent and what is the response status?"

Recommended remediation

Initiate bank confirmation requests immediately for the three new accounts. Track responses in the audit PBC tracker.

Impairment model (CGU: West Ridge property) lacks sensitivity analysis

Document: PP&E / long-lived asset impairment model (West Ridge CGU)
Line / cell: /impairment/west_ridge_model_v3.xlsx — Assumptions tab
Observed
Base-case headroom of $4.2M; no sensitivity table; discount rate hard-coded at 11.5%
Expected
Sensitivity table flexing discount rate ±200bps, commodity price ±15%, terminal growth ±100bps, with IAS 36 disclosure language where headroom is eliminated
Description

The West Ridge CGU has a discounted-cash-flow recoverable-amount model, but the file contains no sensitivity analysis on the discount rate, commodity price assumption, or terminal growth. CAS 540 (Revised) requires the auditor to evaluate management's response to estimation uncertainty; IAS 36 requires sensitivity disclosure where a reasonably possible change would eliminate headroom.

The auditor will ask

"What is the headroom in the West Ridge model, and at what discount rate or commodity price does the headroom disappear?"

Recommended remediation

Add a sensitivity table flexing the discount rate (±200bps), commodity price (±15%), and terminal growth (±100bps). Where any reasonably possible change eliminates headroom, draft the IAS 36 sensitivity disclosure for the financial statements.

Revenue recognition memos missing for two new customer contracts

Document: IFRS 15 application memos (per material contract type)
Line / cell: Contracts CON-2025-118 and CON-2025-127 — no application memos on file
Observed
GL revenue postings reference CON-2025-118 and CON-2025-127; /revenue/memos/ contains memos through CON-2025-115 only
Expected
IFRS 15 application memos for both contracts covering performance obligations, transaction price, variable consideration constraint, and principal-vs-agent conclusion
Description

Two new customer contracts (CON-2025-118, CON-2025-127) are reflected in revenue but no IFRS 15 application memo has been uploaded. Revenue is a presumed fraud risk under CAS 240; without memos, the auditor will treat both contracts as significant risks requiring expanded procedures.

The auditor will ask

"Walk us through performance obligations, transaction price, and recognition pattern for the two new contracts."

Recommended remediation

Prepare IFRS 15 application memos covering the five-step model for both contracts. Include the variable consideration constraint analysis and principal-vs-agent conclusion.

MD&A draft contains three figures inconsistent with audited financials

Document: MD&A draft
Line / cell: Three figures in the MD&A do not tie to the trial balance: net loss, G&A expense, exploration costs
Observed
MD&A: net loss -$14.2M, G&A $8.1M, exploration $21.4M
Expected
Trial balance: net loss -$14.5M, G&A $7.9M, exploration $21.8M
Description

Auditus.ai diff'd the MD&A draft against the trial balance: net loss ($14.2M vs. $14.5M), G&A expense ($8.1M vs. $7.9M), and exploration costs ($21.4M vs. $21.8M) do not match. Under CAS 720, the auditor must read the MD&A and report inconsistencies before signing.

The auditor will ask

"These three numbers don't tie. Which is right, and what's the rest of the document doing?"

Recommended remediation

Update the MD&A draft to match the final audited figures. Re-run the diff after refresh to confirm zero inconsistencies before circulating to the audit committee.

Going-concern cash flow forecast not stress-tested

Document: Going-concern cash-flow forecast (12+ months) with scenarios
Line / cell: /going_concern/forecast_base_case.xlsx — Scenarios tab missing entirely
Observed
Base-case-only 12-month cash forecast; runway 14 months in base case
Expected
Three additional scenarios — financing-delay (3 months), price-down (-20%), capex-overrun (+15%) — with IAS 1 going-concern disclosure calibrated to the worst-case runway
Description

The going-concern memo contains a base-case 12-month cash forecast but no stress scenarios. For a junior exploration issuer, lenders and the auditor will both expect scenarios for delayed financing, lower realized prices, and capex slippage.

The auditor will ask

"What happens to the cash runway under a financing delay or 20% commodity price drop?"

Recommended remediation

Add three scenarios: financing-delay (3 months), price-down (-20%), and capex-overrun (+15%). Calibrate the IAS 1 going-concern disclosure language based on the worst-case runway.

Observed
No FY2026 engagement letter uploaded
Expected
Current-year engagement letter signed by both the issuer and the audit firm, dated within the engagement year per CAS 210
Description

Auditus.ai cannot find a current-year engagement letter signed by both the issuer and the audit firm. CAS 210 requires agreement on the terms of the engagement annually.

The auditor will ask

"Where is this year's signed engagement letter?"

Recommended remediation

Request the current-year engagement letter from the audit firm and execute it before fieldwork starts.

Lease register IBR not refreshed for new leases entered in FY2026

Document: IFRS 16 lease register with ROU + lease liability
Line / cell: Leases LEA-2025-04 and LEA-2025-07 — IBR not refreshed at commencement
Observed
Both new Q2 leases use the FY2024 IBR memo rate of 5.25%
Expected
IBR re-evaluated as of each new lease's commencement date; ROU asset and lease liability recomputed and any adjustment posted
Description

Two new property leases entered in Q2 use the FY2024 incremental borrowing rate. Rates have moved materially; IBR should be re-evaluated at lease commencement.

The auditor will ask

"Is the IBR appropriate as of the lease commencement date for each new lease?"

Recommended remediation

Refresh the IBR analysis as of each new lease's commencement date. Recompute the ROU asset and lease liability balances and post any adjustments.

Line / cell: Related-party list last updated FY2025; current-year GL counter-party reconciliation not performed
Observed
47 new counter-parties in the current-year GL export not yet checked against the related-party list or the D&O declarations
Expected
Diff completed: GL counter-parties × related-party list × director/officer declarations, with any new related-party transactions identified and disclosed per CAS 550 / MI 61-101
Description

The related-party list (last updated FY2025) has not been reconciled to the current-year GL counter-party list. CAS 550 requires identification of related-party relationships and transactions. MI 61-101 adds disclosure requirements for material transactions.

The auditor will ask

"How did you confirm the related-party list is complete for the current year?"

Recommended remediation

Diff the GL counter-party list against the related-party list and the board's directors' / officers' declarations. Investigate any name match or related-individual link.

Observed
Procedures scheduled 18 days before the planned report date
Expected
Procedures re-scheduled to within 3 business days of the planned report date, with a contingency check-in for any slip
Description

Subsequent-events procedures should be performed close to the report date. The plan has them running 18 days before. If the report date slips, procedures must be re-performed.

The auditor will ask

"When were subsequent-event procedures performed relative to the report date?"

Recommended remediation

Re-schedule subsequent-events procedures to within 3 business days of the planned report date and build a contingency check-in for any slip.

Pre-approval of tax advisory services not on file

Document: Auditor non-audit services pre-approval matrix
Line / cell: $42,000 tax advisory work in Q4 (auditor invoice INV-2026-04-09) not pre-approved
Observed
Audit committee minutes 2026-01-22 do not reference the tax engagement; the pre-approval matrix shows the general policy but not this specific approval
Expected
Audit committee ratification at the next meeting + revised pre-approval policy requiring advance approval for any new non-audit service above $10,000
Description

Auditor invoices include $42,000 of tax advisory work in Q4. The audit committee pre-approval matrix shows the policy but not the specific approval for this engagement. NI 52-110 requires pre-approval; Rule 204 makes unapproved non-audit services an independence threat.

The auditor will ask

"Where is the audit committee's pre-approval of the tax advisory services?"

Recommended remediation

Obtain audit committee ratification at the next meeting; revise the pre-approval policy to require advance approval for any new non-audit service above $10,000.

Description

Inventory balance ($3.4M) exceeds materiality. No count plan or scheduled attendance date has been confirmed with the auditor. CAS 501 presumes auditor attendance at the count.

The auditor will ask

"When and where is the year-end inventory count, and how can we attend?"

Description

Legal letter requests should be in counsel's hands well before the report date to allow time for responses. Auditus.ai cannot find evidence the request has been sent.

The auditor will ask

"When did you send the legal letter, and have you received responses from all counsel?"
