About Us
EQC Compliance Advisory (EQC) specializes in consulting CPA practices and financial institutions on AFRC inspections, investigations, complaints, and regulatory matters. Our services include inspection consulting, online and in-person training, monitoring, mock audits, quality management system design, anti-money laundering compliance, and general practice protection.
In just 5 years, EQC has consulted on 250+ inspection engagements and served 320+ small and medium-sized practices. Our expertise covers document preparation, engagement file selection, response to review reports, and addressing inquiries from institutes and regulators, backed by evidence of follow-up and remedial actions.
In June 2023, we have launched Audit Program 3.0, an innovative service that utilizes Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Complex Coding to help CPA firms save up to 99.9998% of time costs in completing audit programs that comply with the latest auditing standards, including but not limited to HKSA 220, 315, 540, and HKSQM 1 and 2.
In January 2025, we have launched Audit Program 4.0, an upgrade to the previous version, that adopts generative AI to produce illustrative working papers, analytical reviews, and tests of details, and performs AML sanction screening checks in addition to the functionalities included in Audit Program 3.0.
