• Compliance Oversight: Ensure the firm remains in strict adherence to tax laws, property regulations, and internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

3. Process Optimization & Reporting

• Actionable Reporting: Prepare detailed audit findings that don't just point out errors but provide strategic, actionable recommendations for management.

• Continuous Improvement: Collaborate with various departments (Sales, Project Management, Legal) to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency.

• Implementation Tracking: Conduct rigorous follow-ups to ensure that corrective actions suggested in previous audits have been fully integrated.
