Preparing files for upload

The mock audit works from the documents you give it. Readable, well-named files in the right category give the best ratings.

Formats

PDF, Excel (.xlsx), CSV and Word (.docx) files are accepted. Exports from ticketing, version-control and payroll systems are usually CSV or Excel; keep them as exported rather than pasting into another document.

Naming

Name files for what they are: Payroll_Register_2025.xlsx, Load_Test_Results_v3.xlsx, Contractor_SOW_VisionLabs_signed.pdf. The checklist ticks a category when a file matches it, and a clear name helps the match.

Readable records

  • Scanned PDFs should be text-searchable where possible.
  • Spreadsheets should keep one table per sheet with a header row.
  • Exports should cover the whole tax year, not a quarter.

Per project

Upload each project's records on its own documents step. A record that supports two projects can be added to both.
