Bank confirmation process
No of times process is repeated = 480 clients x 4 bank accounts = 1920 times
Time taken for a typical SMP = 480 clients* on average for a 30-staff SMP x 4 bank accounts x 8mins / 60 mins = 256 hours

Time saved per audit process
% increase in productivity
Estimated Savings ($) per audit firm= number of times to repeat x time saved per process x cost of A1 per minute x 480 clients* = number of times to repeat x time saved x $90.91
Bank confirmation
8 mins 3.5 mins 4.5 mins 56% For 4 bank accounts = 4 x 4.5min x $90.91= $1,636
AR / AP confirmation (sorting + confirmation)
20 mins + 7mins (for
subsequent confirmation)
2.4 min 17.6 mins 88% For 6 debtors and 6 creditors = [(20min +7min x5) - (2.4min x6)] x 2 x $90.91= $7,381
Corporate secretarial work
90 mins 13 mins 77 mins 86% Once per company = 1 x 77min x $90.91= $7,000
Total 118 mins 18.9 mins 99.1 mins $16,017
Cost of A1 per minute = $2000 average A1 pay / 22 days / 8hours a day / 60mins = $0.19 / minute
