THE WILEY ADVANTAGE AUDIT METHODOLOGY

Programs built on a methodology that is maintained for you.

Advantage Audit programs are built on the Wiley Advantage Audit methodology, so the procedures your team signs off on trace back to a maintained methodology — not a binder your firm has to keep current on its own.

METHODOLOGY

Built on Wiley Advantage Audit

Audit programs across the library are built on the Wiley Advantage Audit methodology — you'll see it in the display names, like Review - Advantage Audit and Compilation - Advantage Audit.

ANNUAL EDITIONS

Versioned annual instructions

Annual instructions are versioned by edition — 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — so each engagement pins the year it was performed under.

REFERENCE ADD-ONS

Wiley GAAS Guide, GAAP Guide & Disclosure Checklist

The Wiley GAAS Guide, the Wiley GAAP Guide, and the Wiley Disclosure Checklist are available as full digital reference add-ons alongside the methodology.

CHECKLISTS & PEER REVIEW

Walk into peer review with the trail already built.

Industry-specific disclosure checklists

Disclosure checklists are industry-specific and published in annual editions, so the checklist matches both the industry and the year of the engagement.

Programs mapped to peer review steps

Advantage Audit programs map to peer review checklist steps, so the work signed off during the engagement is the trail your peer reviewer follows later.

How AuditFile supports peer review
QUALITYLINK

Quality management that behaves like an engagement.

QualityLink brings SQMS 1 & 2 and ISQM 1 & 2 support into AuditFile®, so firm-level quality management runs where the engagements do.

SQMS 1 & 2 · ISQM 1 & 2

Support for the U.S. and international quality management standards, in the same platform as the engagements they govern.

A checklist with engagement discipline

The firm-level quality management checklist behaves like a full engagement — with sign-offs, lock, and rollforward.

EQR built into Completion

An EQR section is added to Completion on new engagements, so engagement quality review has a home from day one.

The standard changes. Your methodology keeps up.

Advantage Audit programs, instructions, and checklists are updated annually — so when the standards move, the methodology moves with them, and your firm doesn't have to maintain its own.

AUDITFILE® + WILEY ADVANTAGE AUDIT™

Put a maintained methodology behind every engagement.
