Common questions
Before we begin.
What should we prepare for IRS Publication 1075?
Start with a non-sensitive description of your systems, objectives, and current concerns. During scoping, we agree which documentation, evidence, and technical access are needed for this service.
Can you work with our internal team or IT provider?
The engagement can be scoped around collaboration with your technical staff, leadership, and existing providers. Responsibilities and access are agreed before work begins.
What determines the cost and timeline?
System scope, complexity, available evidence, required deliverables, and the support you need affect the proposal. We discuss these before agreeing on the work and schedule.
Does consulting guarantee a compliance outcome?
No. Consulting supports preparation and improvement; formal assessment, certification, and authorization decisions belong to the applicable assessors and authorities.
