Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

Is this an audit?

+

No. We are not licensed auditors. QoE is a managerial review of earnings quality, not a statutory opinion.

Can buyers rely on your report?

+

Yes. Our QoE has been accepted by 40+ institutional buyers and lenders. We provide reliance letters when required.

What if the buyer pushes back on adjustments?

+

We defend every adjustment line by line, in writing or live. Adjustment defense is included in scope.
