The new audit client portal is a cloud native user friendly platform that provides Rickard Luckin and its clients with a secure document exchange portal. It allows for information requests, files and documents to be safely and securely exchanged between both parties. It avoids the need for either party to use emails to send documents or send documents by other means.

Circit provides a complete audit trail, storing all queries in one place in the cloud and offering a 100% guarantee for the protection of all sensitive files. The portal has a number of key benefits; in particular it:

• allows an exchange of “deliverables” lists and audit and accounting queries all in one place, with the ability to direct queries to specific individuals within your finance team. Responses are associated with those requests and queries and can be tracked through to ensure timely completion
• allows us to send certain documents for approval to our clients and approve at the click of a button
• provides our clients and us with a depository for key documents and can be accessed at will 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
