You see ₹10 Crores in the bank and ₹2 Crores owed to a supplier. But how can you be sure?</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">That’s where SA 505 – External Confirmations comes in. This auditing standard requires direct, written verification from third parties (like banks or customers) to confirm balances or transactions. It’s the golden rule of auditing:</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">Don’t just trust — verify.</span></strong></p>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:18pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:17.0pt\">The Headache of the Old Way: Manual Confirmations</span></span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://wraptaxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2025/10/15/picture1.png\" style=\"height:235px; width:432px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:13.0pt\">The Tedious Prep Work</span></span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">Traditional audit procedures rely on endless paperwork. Auditors spend days, sometimes weeks, manually printing confirmation letters, stuffing envelopes, and applying postage. This manual process consumes valuable time and resources that could otherwise be spent on analysis.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:13.0pt\">The ‘Black Hole’ of the Mail</span></span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">Once the letters are sent, auditors enter a waiting game. There’s no visibility or tracking you don’t know if the confirmation reached the recipient or got lost. This lack of traceability increases audit risks and delays reporting timelines.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:13.0pt\">The Follow-Up Nightmare</span></span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">When responses don’t arrive (and many don’t), auditors must chase down confirmations through calls and emails — a huge administrative burden that weakens audit efficiency and inflates SA 505 implementation costs.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:13.0pt\">Human Error Risks</span></span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">Typos, misreads, wrong addresses, and mismatched versions can easily compromise confirmation reliability, creating audit process inefficiencies and potential compliance risks.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<h1 style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:16.0pt\">Enter WrapTax: The Power of Automation</span></strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">This is where WrapTax transforms SA 505 compliance from a slow, manual process into a fast, secure, and insight-driven experience.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\">Faster, Effortless Confirmations</span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">No more envelopes or waiting games.
