1 · Cost language across desks
Translate sprint jargon into finance categories. Agree on what counts as software R&D versus supporting overhead before numbers enter the app.
Flagship course
R&D Expense Audit Mastery
Six weeks of structured practice for teams who need a financial auditing app for software R&D expense audits to produce clearer evidence, not just prettier spreadsheets.
Informational pricing · HK$4,280 individual · HK$11,800 team of three
Learning outcomes
- Build a cost-pool map that mirrors how your engineering org actually ships work
- Produce claim narratives that cite tickets, commits, and contractor records without inventing polish
- Run an export pack through a financial auditing app workflow and spot missing attachments early
- Respond to clarification questions with calm, sourced answers
Modules
2 · Ticket-to-pool mapping
Practice linking issues, pull requests, and time entries to claim pools using sample Hong Kong product data.
3 · Narrative drafting clinic
Write and peer-review project stories. Instructors mark where claims overreach the evidence.
4 · Auditing app walkthrough
Import cleaned data, attach proofs, and generate reviewer packs inside a financial auditing app for software R&D expense audits.
5 · Mock clarification round
Face a timed Q&A that mimics external reviewers. Learn which answers need documents versus explanation.
6 · Retention & handover
Set a lightweight habit so next year’s claim does not restart from zero when people change roles.

FAQ
Do you guarantee a successful claim outcome?
No. This course strengthens documentation and review readiness. Eligibility depends on your actual R&D activity and applicable rules — we will flag weak projects rather than dress them up.
Is the auditing app included?
You train on a guided sandbox that mirrors common financial auditing app flows. Production licenses for any third-party tool are separate and not sold here.
Who should attend together?
Ideally one finance owner and one engineering lead who can speak to sprint reality. Solo learners still complete the labs, but dual attendance shortens internal debates.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not provide legal or tax opinions for your specific filing. Complex contractor structures and multi-entity transfers need your own advisors; we teach how to present evidence, not how to reinterpret statute.
Learner notes
★★★★☆
“The week-four export pack exercise caught three missing contractor invoices we would have waved through. Still wish Module 2 had one more Asia-timezone office-hour slot.”

I joined for the narrative clinic. Ada crossed out half my adjectives and the claim read cleaner. Not magical — just disciplined.
