Abstract:

Systems and methods are defined for facilitating the audit process involving a business client, an auditor, and a third-party providing confirmations for the client upon the auditor's request. More specifically, an auditor receives an audit number from the audited client as evidence of authorization for requesting confirmation from a third-party, such as a bank or related business entity. The confirmation request submitted by the auditor will be stored in a network-based computer system and transmitted to the relevant third-party. The third-party then provides necessary confirmation data in response to the request and has the confirmation data transferred to the auditor through the computer system over the Internet. The involved third-party can be a bank or financial institution, another entity in business relationship with the client, or any other entity that has access to the requested data associated with the client.

Abstract:

A system and method facilitates the audit process involving a business client, an auditor, and a third-party by providing confirmations for the client upon the auditor's request. An auditor or requestor receives an audit number from the audited client as evidence of authorization for requesting confirmation from a third-party, such as a legal professional.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are defined for facilitating the audit process involving a business client, an auditor, and a third-party providing confirmations for the client upon the auditor's request. An auditor receives an audit number, electronically captured signature, or physical signature from the audited client as evidence of authorization for requesting confirmation from a third-party, such as a bank or related business entity.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 30

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for obtaining verified financial statements associated with a client. An accountant provides or approves financial statements associated with a client to a confirmation system via a communications network. The client provides permissions for the financial statements to the confirmation system via the communications network and identifies at least one lending institution. The confirmation system queries the database of licensed certified public accountants to determine whether the accountant is currently licensed as a certified public accountant. The confirmation system provides the financial statements to the lending institution or financial statement user upon determining that the accountant is a certified public accountant and confirming the financial information in the financial statements.
