I just got a new job as an accountant in a medium company which I bless God Almighty for. But here are some of my challenges:

I am to resume work next week and it is just 2 months to the year end of this new company
they have an audited account for last year, and they have been keeping skeletal records, they had never had an accountant but they always manage their record keeping by one of their directors who has no sound knowledge of accounting and at year end their auditors will put their books in shape.

Pls as an accountant are their any formal steps I need to go through to have the account prepared fairly and have an easy external audit sail
I have been trying to draw a frame work for this task.

Please kindly help me on the best and professional steps to follow.
