Extended story: covenant renewal for a precision parts maker
The company’s March facility renewal required audited statements within six weeks of year-end. Inventory sat in Taipei and Kaohsiung; the southern plant planned a maintenance shutdown that overlapped the original count night.
We moved observation to the shutdown window, mailed bank confirmations two weeks earlier than usual, and held a mid-fieldwork call on rebate accruals that had swung with a new distributor contract. Three cut-off adjustments were proposed; management booked two before the draft opinion.
The lender accepted the package without requesting extra inventory schedules—the first clean pass in three renewal cycles.
