AI for document review in audits

Audit automation with AI

Many auditors use AI to analyse audit documentation. But the results often remain as standalone text and are not incorporated systematically into audit files or systems. The analysis is automated. Processing the results is not yet. AI in audit processes can support and speed up document review tasks, allowing auditors to focus on analysis, judgement and advice. We help audit and accountancy organisations turn document analysis into structured audit outputs that can be processed directly, using AI solutions that fit into existing systems and IT environments — with attention to traceability, auditability and security.

AI document analysis in audits: from one-off analysis to structured audit output

AI makes it possible to analyse audit documentation more quickly. The challenge, however, is to systematically incorporate the findings into audit processes and systems. Combining analysis with the processing of findings creates a scalable, reproducible process for document review in audits.

AI applications for document review in audits

Frequently asked questions,

Brief answers to the most common questions about using AI in the audit process.

No. Data is processed in a secure environment and is not used to train public or external AI models.

The solution can be configured to meet the requirements of audit and accountancy firms, with attention to security, governance and auditability.

No. The solution can integrate with existing systems and workflows, so your current processes can stay in place.

Answers are supported by source references and can be traced back to the original documentation, so they can still be checked and reviewed.

The solution supports the process while allowing auditors to review and approve work where needed.

It works with various types of audit documentation, such as annual reports, contracts, management letters and internal reports.
