A technology and SaaS audit is a revenue-recognition exercise first, and Modus helps growth-stage companies get theirs done at the speed of business. Subscription contracts, deferred revenue, and ASC 606 judgments drive the statements, and investors and boards expect them handled correctly. Modus brings top-firm rigor and AI-native speed to your technology and SaaS audit, so you get source-linked support, fewer questions, and a roughly four-week turnaround.

What is a technology and SaaS audit?

A technology and SaaS audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements under U.S. GAAP that results in an auditor’s opinion. For subscription businesses, it concentrates on how revenue is recognized under ASC 606, how deferred revenue rolls forward, and how software development costs and equity compensation are accounted for. The audit gives investors, boards, and acquirers confidence in the numbers behind the growth story.

Who needs a technology and SaaS audit?

  • SaaS and software companies raising capital or reporting to investors.
  • Venture- and private-equity-backed businesses with board reporting requirements.
  • Companies preparing for a financing round, acquisition, or IPO readiness.
  • Marketplaces and platforms with complex, multi-party revenue arrangements.
  • Technology firms whose lenders or customers require audited financials.

Key audit considerations for technology and SaaS

  • ASC 606 subscription revenue recognition, including performance obligations and variable consideration.
  • Deferred revenue and the completeness and accuracy of the revenue waterfall.
  • Capitalized software development costs and the amortization policy applied.
  • Stock-based compensation, including valuation, vesting, and expense recognition.
  • Investor and board reporting, including metrics tied to the financial statements.

Frequently asked questions

How does Modus help with subscription revenue under ASC 606?

Modus helps you evaluate how performance obligations are identified, how the transaction price is allocated, and how revenue is recognized over the contract term. Because the platform ingests billing and contract data directly, the revenue waterfall can be tested across the full book rather than a few sampled contracts.

Can Modus support capitalized software and stock-based comp?

Yes. Modus helps you assess which development costs qualify for capitalization and how they are amortized, and evaluate stock-comp valuation, vesting terms, and expense recognition, all common areas of judgment for growth-stage companies.

We are a lean finance team. How disruptive is the audit?

Not very. Modus’s AI-native tooling automates much of the fieldwork, which cuts requests and reduces back-and-forth, so a small team can get the audit done without stalling the roadmap.
