Audit Support
What You Do Today
Respond to auditor requests — PBC lists, sampling selections, process walkthroughs, confirmations. During audit season, 30% of your time goes to pulling support while still doing your regular job.
AI That Applies
AI-organized PBC packages that auto-compile documents. Automated confirmation generation and tracking. Intelligent document retrieval from unstructured file systems.
Technologies
How It Works
The system ingests unstructured file systems as its primary data source. A language model processes the input by identifying relevant context, generating appropriate responses, and structuring the output to match the expected format and domain conventions. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context. The walkthrough conversations.
What Changes
PBC requests get fulfilled in hours instead of days. The AI finds the invoice, contract, and approval email without you digging through 3 systems.
What Stays
The walkthrough conversations. Explaining your processes, controls, and judgment calls to auditors. Audit is a relationship — the better you explain, the smoother it goes.
What To Do Next
This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.
Establish Your Baseline
Know where you are before you move
Before adopting AI tools for audit support, understand your current state.
Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.
Define Your Measures
What to track and how to calculate it
Time per cycle
How to calculate
Measure how long audit support takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.
Why it matters
The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.
Quality of output
How to calculate
Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.
Why it matters
Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.
