  1. Module 1 — Entity & rail map Inventory legal entities, cost centers, and payment rails before you touch a sample.

  4. Module 4 — Card Feed Mapping Lab Reconcile MCC filters, FX lines, and personal-card reimbursements to the clause map.
  5. Module 5 — Dual-entity reimbursements Scope tests when Korea and overseas entities share travelers or contractor pools.
  6. Module 6 — Exception narratives & handoff Write findings that separate pattern from one-off and package a next-cycle checklist.

Learning outcomes

  • Produce a sampling plan that names population, strata, and known blind spots.
  • Link each tested claim to a policy clause and a ledger or payroll evidence trail.
  • Draft exception language suitable for internal audit committees and external follow-up.
  • Identify when a finding is a policy gap versus a traveler error.

FAQ

Do I need prior audit experience?

You should be comfortable reading a general ledger extract and a policy PDF. We do not teach double-entry from scratch.

Will this certify me as an auditor in Korea?

No. Software Mind provides professional development education only. It does not confer a license or replace CPA / certified public accountant credentials.

What is a real limitation of this course?

We do not provide tax opinions on VAT, withholding, or cross-border contractor payments. Module 5 shows how to scope testing around those questions and when to escalate to counsel — it does not answer them for your entity.

Can our whole team enroll?

Yes — see Multi-Office Cohort on the pricing page, or contact us for larger groups.

Reviews from this course

Module 4’s mapping lab exposed that our “software tools” MCC allow-list still included consumer streaming merchants. We fixed the filter before the next quarter close.

Dense in places. I needed an extra weekend on dual-entity reimbursements. The exception template from Module 6 is now our default.
