Comprehensive Closing Controls Design

I need an experienced finance professional to build a full month-end closing control framework that stands up to IFRS scrutiny and streamlines our daily work. Our reporting stack covers the balance sheet, income statement, cash-flow statement and related-party disclosures, so every line item must be addressed. Reconciliation processes are the backbone of this engagement: each control you create should either prevent, detect, or clearly flag discrepancies for timely resolution.

Deliverables
• Control matrix covering every balance-sheet and P&L account
• Narrative, risk statement, and walkthrough for each control
• End-to-end payments-process controls (from vendor setup through bank reconciliation)
• IFRS compliance map linking controls to the relevant standards
• Standardised reconciliation templates for all statements and disclosures
• Implementation checklist and testing plan to confirm controls operate as designed

Acceptance criteria
• All controls are specific, testable, and documented so an external auditor can trace them without follow-up questions
• Reconciliation templates auto-calculate variances and require preparer / reviewer sign-off
• Final pack is delivered in editable Excel and Word formats

If you have designed closing or SOX-style frameworks before and can demonstrate similar IFRS projects, I’d love to see your approach and timeline.
