Audit of consolidated financial statements – much more easier with the 5F Collaboration Cloud
5F enables the digital audit of consolidated financial statements in your audit company without requiring explicit programming knowledge
Especially in the audit of consolidated financial statements, communication and cooperation between auditors and other parties involved in the process, such as subdivisional auditors, are essential. This collaboration is considerably facilitated by highly secure digital platforms.
The 5F collaboration platform supports the audit of consolidated financial statements:
- Every step in the mandate processing
- The entire range of services of your firm
- Targeted communication between different process participants
- The external and internal exchange of information
Full control over the audit progress through a central dashboard
Intelligent design of the user interface
Efficient coordination of all process participants
Every year, the single sub-area auditors must be requested and verified in an elaborate way. This is very time intensive. With the 5F workflow, the verification process can now be started automatically with an existing list. It is then monitored and tracked directly on the collaboration platform. This saves time and nerves.
After their successful verification, the participants receive automatic access to their individual exam instructions. Important to know: there applies always strict data separation. The user can decide which type of documents (appendices) should be added and whether they should be made available to all auditors or only certain subdivision auditors.
Due to the clear structure, it is possible to see at a glance how many subdivision auditors have been added to the company or how many files have been sent as appendices. Warnings alert the user when relevant information (e.g. on the materiality limit) for a subdivision is still missing.
Precise task management and monitoring of audit progress
The dashboard view provides every involved parties a view on the current status of the audit. Similar to Collecto, tasks can be created, given due dates and assigned to participants in the project room.
If necessary, members of the audit team can communicate on a project-specific basis using the comment function in the respective appendix. It is also possible to communicate within the audit team via an internal project room. The exchange of information with the client can be made just as easy and convenient as the cooperation within the audit team. In addition, it also facilitates contacting network partners or other audit firms as well as the collection of information from third parties on a case-by-case basis.
In addition to the (group) audit, the 5FSoftware collaboration platform can also be used to provide other services, such as the drafting of financial statements, due diligence or even tax consulting. These aspects represent the unique features of the 5F software solution and its unique value proposal.

Efficient coordination of sub-area auditors
Every year, each individual sub-area auditor has to be requested and verified in an elaborate manner. With the 5F workflow, verification can now be started automatically with an existing list. It is then monitored and tracked on the collaboration platform. This saves time and nerves.
The verified sub-area auditors will then have fully automatic access to the examination instructions stored for you. Strict data separation applies here.
Example of sending the Audit Instructions and assigning the appendices to the different subdivision companies
The upload of necessary documents, such as audit instructions, can be done by “drag & drop” and enables the import of different file formats. Users can decide which type of documents (appendices) should be added and whether they should be available to all or only a selected group of participants.
The clear structure allows you to see immediately how many sub-area auditors have been added to the respective company or how many files have been sent as appendices. A warning notice appears if relevant information (e.g. on the materiality limit) is missing for a subdivision.
Precise task management and full control of the audit progress
The dashboard view provides every involved parties a view on the current status of the audit. Tasks can be created, due dates set and assigned to defined persons in the project space.
If necessary, members of the audit team can communicate on a project-specific basis using the comment function in the respective appendix. It is also possible to communicate only within the audit team via an internal project room. The exchange of information with clients can be done as easy and convenient as the cooperation within the audit team. In addition, contact with network partners or other audit firms is also made easier.
This is can be very practical for information from third parties. In addition to the (group) audit, other services can also be provided with the 5FSoftware collaboration platform, such as the preparation of financial statements, due diligence or classic tax consulting.
