Field notes
Preparing Taiwan fieldwork days without theatre
Practical preparation for on-site fintech audit fieldwork in Taiwan — document rooms, access, and what to skip so reviewers can sample real batches.
On-site days fail when the room is full of welcome packs and empty of batch owners. Fieldwork for audits for fintech is a working session: samples, interviews, and mid-day clarification — not a town hall.
Book the people, not the catering
Confirm settlement, finance, and compliance contacts for the days on the calendar. Deputies should know they may be called. A locked meeting room with network access and a printer beats a showcase lobby.
Stage the request list in advance
Send or receive the document request list before anyone travels to Miaoli or Taipei. Printing binders on morning one wastes sampling hours.
Skip the product demo
Unless the engagement explicitly includes a walkthrough of customer initiation, demos consume time that should go to cut-offs and exceptions. Reviewers who still open binders themselves will ask for the books first.
Oak Ledger schedules fieldwork this way whether the document room is at your offices or at 219 Mekhi Lock by appointment.
