Salon D-6 is the external audit work room on the 24th floor of a corporate tower in Polanco: 16 dual-monitor workstations, CaseWare and ACL terminals for data analysis, a wall screen with the day's work programme, a fiscal-sealed archive for evidence binders, a SAT hold room with security key, a biometric door with entry/exit count, two pedestrian accesses with notarial logbook. This is where the external audit team works during fiscal close (typically January through April), where SAT fiscal opinion signings happen, where Audit Committee meetings with the external auditor gather, where due diligence for local and international debt issuance runs, where internal audit work coordinated with external audit sits, and where SOX control reviews for NYSE/Nasdaq-listed corporates happen. What separates Salon D-6 from the accounting software is the evidence traceability: the auditor kit enters before the physical binders, signed observations are filed sealed, and the SAT guest merch is USMCA-compliant when it crosses the border with the opinion documentation.

Technical backpack with laptop and evidence binder compartments, roller pen engraved with the corporate isotype, professional notebook with grid paper, encrypted USB drive with the work programme, ceramic mug with the crest, HP 12C financial calculator with discreet logo.

Delivery to the official's escort at the corporate lobby, USMCA-compliant when crossing the border.
Production of 2 to 4 pieces for the standout Big Four partner of the year, the senior with the highest fiscal close efficiency, the manager who detected the material opinion observation. Engraved steel plaque with bas-relief text, edited book on Mexican accounting regulation, wooden box with aged wine or signature spirit, calligraphed card with monogram. Delivery to the CFO privately with the Audit Committee present.

Salon D-6 runs on a dedicated service elevator on the 24th floor: freight travels up the west-wing service elevator with restricted hours and a notarial logbook; there is no informal access and the biometric turnstiles record every entry and exit with photo. Light freight (auditor kits, bottled water, morning biscuits) goes up with ID, credential and the corporate operations lead signature. The merch is staged in the SAT hold room and the delivery is signed with SAT seal when applicable. The room has a fiscal-sealed archive for evidence binders and a rotating code to access it; auditors sign each evidence entry and exit with notarial plumbing seal.
For sessions with international auditor presence (PwC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, BDO, Grant Thornton, Mazars), we handle invoicing in USD at the Banco de Mexico FIX rate from the day before delivery, with USMCA compliance when the merch crosses the border, and support for deduction as External Audit or Due Diligence expense in the corporate fiscal close. For sessions with SAT, UIF or CNBV presence, we handle compliance with the corporate security protocol and the Policia Bancaria e Industrial protocol when applicable. The chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp and notarial folio at every checkpoint.
Salon D-6 enforces fiscal compliance rules the merch must respect: no portable storage devices that are not corporate-issued, no merch with noise or visual distraction elements, no backpacks or bags inside the room (auditors use hallway lockers), no POP material carrying third-party logos (external auditors receive merch before entering the room), no outside food or beverages beyond the corporate kitchen service. For sessions that require limited-edition merchandising (clean fiscal close polo, book signed by the former SAT head, paperweight stamped with the year of the CFF reform), we coordinate with the corporate finance area and the Audit Committee to ensure the piece clears the compliance protocol and the fiscal protocol when the merch crosses the border with the opinion documentation.
For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as External Audit, Due Diligence or Internal Control expense depending on how the merch is used. For corporates with IMMEX operations or US market exposure, we handle complementary invoicing in USD with USMCA compliance support when the auditor kit crosses the border as part of the international opinion material. For groups with dual listings (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq), we handle bilingual (es/en) invoicing and carta porte 3.0 with the foreign trade complement when the merch ships internationally. The payment complement applies when the corporate pays in instalments or when delivery happens against the engagement partner's signed receipt.

Pricing does not include the Salon D-6 rental nor the 24th-floor coffee bar service, which is quoted directly with the corporate finance office depending on the day, the hours, the external guest count and the Audit Committee services when applicable.
For audit sessions on high-demand dates (January-April fiscal close, debt opinions, M&A due diligence) we block the calendar 21 days ahead with a firm written commitment. For ordinary quarterly sessions we block 14 days ahead. Express production under 7 days carries a +35% surcharge for the curation and dispatch. The reservation runs on a fourteen-point brief: session date, audit type, external auditor count, guest count, pieces per package, corporate brand manual, compliance protocol, freight logistics, SAT invoicing, USMCA compliance and carta porte when the merch crosses the border.
