"Audit?"

Fanning's words made the Montgomery brothers look at each other.

In this old industrial world, there is naturally the concept of audit, but in the current era, the scope of audit activities is still very narrow, mainly targeting government agencies or public welfare social organizations.

Even some companies with strong public service nature, such as the Theolian Railway Company, have only been included in the proposed scope in recent years.

The taxpayers, philanthropists and the wider electorate of the empire are more concerned about the financial compliance of public institutions.

But then again

If the employer is willing, it seems that everything is fine?

It's not the conservative Janus or Lydia. Theolian's various social concepts are always ahead.

"We can help." The Montgomery brothers said quickly, "Auditing is also our main expertise. We can help you review the expenditure records of Turner Hall's theaters at all levels one by one and find out the hidden problems."

Montgomery's tone was somewhat meaningful: "Economic issues are the concentrated reflection and root source of all problems. Master Fanning, according to our past experience, the mastery of these subtle factors will make you more justified and handy in the process of internal struggles in selecting people and allocating power."

"You have this professional foundation, which is good news, but I have another more important purpose."

Fanning smiled slightly at this time.

"I'm considering a proper blow, but I don't intend to 'prank' anyone. What Turner Theater wants is better and healthier development, right?. Two experts, I'd like to state here that Turner Theater is willing to pay twice the market price to commission this audit, but I have some very special requirements that you must meet."

"Please guide me."

When the Montgomery brothers heard the word "double", their excitement was quickly suppressed. Little Montgomery took out a small notepad and sat up straight to record.

With the size of the Turner Theater chain, the intended order amount is already large, so if the employer is willing to pay double the price, this audit may not be so simple.

"Checking the accounts one by one is definitely one of the important means, but the final deliverable I want is not a pile of forms and ledgers, nor a list of problems! My expectations are not limited to the fragmentary conclusions of the carpet-style review. My work requirements for you are to audit from the perspective of the "balance sheet" of each level and each theater chain!"

In fact, the situation that Tiolian is in is similar to the "detailed audit" stage of Fanning's previous life at the turn of the 20th century!

Since the economic behavior at that time was relatively simple, the audit was to check the income and expenditure one by one, and the goal was to find errors and prevent fraud.

But during and after World War II, the goal of auditing gradually shifted to the "balance sheet audit" stage!

".For any cinema chain, I need you to gradually split and examine the authenticity and compliance behind each asset, liability and owner's equity, so as to judge their health and operating risks. Then, make quantitative ratings for them! Establish a rating system covering all cinema chains! Dynamically adjust every quarter! This will be the decisive basis for the headquarters to make funding, construction assistance, artistic resource allocation, or notification, interview, suspension of business, and personnel adjustments to their management team!!"

"Of course, this commission starts with the 'balance sheet', but don't limit it to the 'balance sheet'!"

"For example, county-level cinema chains, urban and small town-level cinema chains, block and small town-level cinema chains. Different levels of cinema chains The rating orientation of theaters is different. The upper theaters tend to be profitable and the quality of large-scale performances, while the lower theaters tend to be more public welfare and popularization."

"For example, the economic and population sizes of different regions are different, and the art market conditions are different. You need to consider in detail the differences between the north and south of the empire, the differences between industry, agriculture and cities, the differences between the coast and the inland, and even the cultural differences between the continents, and give different weights to each indicator when rating."

"In addition, in addition to the perspective of 'finance', the perspective of 'people' is another aspect. It's time to test your inspection and conversation skills and 'executive portrait' skills."

Fanning spent more than an hour making clear and detailed requirements for the two heads of Montgomery Company.

And, considering the acceptance of the concepts of this era, many very specific examples were given at the same time.

However, as the leaders of the current imperial auditing industry, the basic skills and comprehension of the Montgomery brothers should not be underestimated.

With such an employer who can clearly express his needs, they, as service providers, quickly grasped the key points.

And the more they listened, the more they felt as if they had missed something before.

Isn't this Master Fanning a musician? ?

Why do the auditing businesses that the company used to do seem a bit trivial in comparison! ?

Finally, Fanning made several important arrangements for the connection:

"I authorize Deputy Director Lou Adair to be the general contact person for this auditing business. You should check the details. He will be fully responsible for the signing of the contract. Our theater chain has already had an internal performance appraisal system in the early stage. I will let Lou hand it over to you. Please study it thoroughly and make good use of and connection between the two."

Big Montgomery, who was sitting next to Lou, quickly shook hands with him with a friendly expression.

"For the audit team established this time, I have designated Monroe Law Firm as the only legal consulting service partner. Well, as you all know, 'intellectual and cultural property rights' is one of their strong areas of law firm, and Turner Hall's business is inextricably linked to mysticism."

"As for the cooperative pricing, you can negotiate it yourself. I support 20% to 30% of the total commission amount."

The two nodded repeatedly and greeted Monroe Lawyer sitting at the other end.

The employer is willing to pay twice the market price, what else can they say?

This Monroe Law Firm is also an industry protected by the Guidance School. In their view, 20% and 30% is nothing more than a transfer from the left hand to the right hand.

"Oh, and our administrative and personnel departments will also join the audit team. You can seek support from them for some inspections and interviews."

The intention of this audit commission was decided.

The Montgomery brothers quickly stood up and said goodbye.

First, thank Master Lu Adair for his introduction.

Then they told Fanning that they would digest today's content as soon as possible after returning, do a good job of training mobilization, and bring the quotation and contract when they meet next time.

"Carlon, what's wrong with your brain?" As soon as the two closed the door, Sheeran said with admiration and sigh, ". Why didn't I think of arranging work like this before."

"If I were in your position, I wouldn't have thought of it for another ten years." Lawyer Monroe smiled politely.

What Sheeran, Lu, Monroe and others didn't know was that Fanning's advanced ideas were not just the product of the "balance sheet audit" stage.

Using audit as the entry point, diagnose the operating conditions of theaters in various places, and connect with their own market positioning and development concepts, promote excellent ones, rectify backward ones, and finally form a dynamic and complete internal brand evaluation system!

Many of the things Fanning instilled are already modern products of "standardized channel operation"!

The commission demand he proposed to Montgomery Accounting Consulting Company may be written into the analysis case, and the development process of the Empire, which is still in the "detailed audit" stage, will be pushed forward for several decades!

"Mr. Fanning needs skill and courage just to make this final decision." Lu snorted coldly at this time, "Now he has a large group of people to support, inside and outside, up and down, those short-sighted guys. I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance to the advancement of this matter in the future."
