Outsourced Audit Services for U.S. Companies
Are you seeking a scalable and cost-effective solution to meet increasing audit demands without overextending your internal resources? With FastLaneRecruit, you can establish a dedicated offshore audit support team in Malaysia. From audit associates to internal auditors and compliance specialists, we assist U.S. CPA firms, publicly traded companies, and financial institutions in hiring full-time audit professionals who function as an integral extension of your team.
Our offshore hiring model ensures cost-efficiency, resource scalability, and adherence to U.S. auditing standards, including GAAP, PCAOB, and SOX compliance requirements.
Why Malaysian Audit Talent Stands Out
Build a Cost-Effective Offshore Audit Team in Malaysia
Malaysian audit professionals are highly skilled in International Standards on Auditing (ISA), IFRS, and U.S.-specific frameworks such as U.S. GAAP and PCAOB standards. FastLaneRecruit helps you build a remote audit team that aligns with your firm’s quality control practices and regulatory requirements.
English Fluency & Professional Alignment
Malaysia’s talent pool is fluent in English and experienced in servicing clients from the U.S. and across the globe. Many professionals hold international certifications such as CPA, ACCA, and CIA, ensuring strong collaboration and understanding of U.S. business culture and reporting standards.
Access End-to-End Audit Support Talent
We source professionals across all key functions—external audit support, internal control testing, compliance reviews, forensic audits, and audit analytics. Whether you’re a Big Four affiliate or a local practice, FastLaneRecruit provides access to high-performing offshore audit talent.
Trained in Global Standards, Ready for U.S. Compliance
Our candidates are trained to understand and support compliance with U.S. Financial Reporting Standards, Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and PCAOB audit requirements. Offshore teams can assist with interim reviews, statutory audits, and risk-based audit planning.
Trusted by Accounting Firms Worldwide
Malaysian audit professionals have provided offshore support for clients in the U.S., Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. With proven success across sectors including banking, insurance, trading, and fintech, they offer world-class support at a fraction of the cost.
