See audit purpose and record-keeping before the consultation
Every enquiry captures the audit purpose, current record-keeping status, and authorization to engage the entity, along with prior financial statements, so you can see whether the books are audit-ready before you commit consultation time.
The exact intake your financial statement audit leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Financial Statement Audit — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified financial statement audit lead should tell you
An independent examination of an entity's financial statements and underlying records to determine whether they are complete and free of material misstatement, typically triggered by a regulatory requirement, lender or investor request, grant compliance, or board governance need.
- This Audit
- Audit Financial Statements
- Maintain Complete Financial Records

- This Entity Been Audited
- Authorized Engage Auditor On
- Audit Completed
The questions your team needs answered
Every financial statement audit intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who needs this audit? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Why do you need an audit of your financial statements? | The reason for the audit is weighted so regulatory, lender, and grant-driven engagements outrank internal governance requests or answers of 'not sure'. |
| Do you currently maintain complete financial records and statements? | This yes/no answer carries one of the largest weight swings in the catalog because incomplete records are the clearest predictor of a messy, costly engagement. |
| Which fiscal year or period does this audit cover? | The fiscal period lets you check the request against your team's existing workload before offering time. |
| Has this entity been audited before? | Knowing whether this is a first audit or a switch from a different auditor signals extra predecessor-auditor communication and onboarding work. |
| Are you authorized to engage an auditor on behalf of this entity? | Authorization is weighted heavily because an unauthorized respondent can't actually sign an engagement letter, making the consultation premature. |
| When do you need the audit completed? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |

Built for financial statement audit workflows
| Cliont capability | Financial Statement Audit application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Weights the reason for the audit and record-keeping completeness so regulatory, lender, or grant-driven requests with complete records surface above vague or record-incomplete enquiries. |
| Conditional branching | Routes companies, nonprofits, self-employed individuals, and individuals through the same core questions while keeping the entity type on record for compliance context. |
| Authorization flagging | Flags leads where the respondent is not authorized to engage the entity's auditor, so you don't spend consultation time with someone who can't sign off the engagement. |
| Document capture | Collects prior financial statements and, where relevant, prior audit reports before the first conversation, giving you a head start on assessing audit readiness. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified engagements, complete with reason for audit, record status, and prior-audit history, directly into your CRM for immediate follow-up. |
Common financial statement audit lead scenarios
Lender-required audit, clean books
A business needs an audit for a lender or investor and confirms complete financial records are already maintained, giving you a straightforward, well-documented engagement.
Nonprofit grant compliance audit
A nonprofit indicates the audit is required by a funder and this is its first audit, so the intake flags different onboarding needs than a repeat engagement.
Unclear reason, incomplete records
The entity selects 'Not sure' for why an audit is needed and confirms records are not currently complete, signaling this may become a costly cleanup before any fieldwork can start.
Requester not authorized to engage
The person completing the form is not authorized to engage an auditor on the entity's behalf, which surfaces before you schedule time with someone who can't sign the engagement letter.
Switching auditors under deadline
An entity previously audited by a different firm needs the engagement finished within a specific deadline, combining predecessor-auditor handoff work with time pressure.

Financial Statement Audit lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake treat entities that answer 'Not sure' about why they need an audit?
That reason carries a lower weight than a regulatory, lender, or grant-driven request, so those leads still come through but are positioned for a scoping conversation rather than treated as ready-to-engage.
Does the intake check whether the client's records are actually in order?
Yes — it asks directly whether the entity currently maintains complete financial records and statements, which is one of the strongest signals for whether this will be a clean engagement or a records cleanup project.
Can I tell if the person filling out the form can actually sign the engagement letter?
The intake asks whether the respondent is authorized to engage an auditor on the entity's behalf, so you can see before the consultation whether you're talking to a decision-maker or someone gathering information.
Does the intake distinguish a first-time audit from a repeat engagement?
It captures whether the entity has been audited before, and by the same or a different firm, which affects onboarding scope even though it isn't itself a priority factor.
How do I know which fiscal period the client wants covered?
Respondents enter the fiscal year or period directly as free text, so you can check it against your team's capacity before booking a consultation.
Does a tight deadline move a lead up in priority?
Timeline is captured — deadline-driven, next-few-months, or no fixed date — so you can plan scheduling, but it's used for logistics rather than as a fit signal on its own.
