The annual audit process requires coordination across your fund, your auditor, and your portfolio companies. When managing private investments, getting confirmation of investment holdings can involve frustrating off-platform work—emailing documents, waiting for signatures, and chasing down multiple parties.
Transparent and efficient investment holding verification for multiple stakeholders
Auditors can create, schedule, and download all necessary investment confirmations directly within Carta.
General Partners (GP) and Fund CFOs can maintain control by reviewing the auditor’s selections and approving all confirmations before they are sent to your portfolio companies.
Portfolio companies can quickly respond and digitally sign the confirmation requests in just a couple of clicks on Carta, attach additional supporting documentation requested by the auditor. This eliminates the need to download and fill out documents.
Providing clarity around private investment valuations
Auditors can use the audit confirmation tool to ask additional questions to gather supporting documentation directly from the portfolio company. This information is helpful for the auditor to evaluate the fair value of the portfolio company determined by the GP or Fund CFO. Companies can respond to audit confirmations and optionally attach documents to answer the additional questions asked by their investor's auditors.
