AI-Powered Audit Automation

Unstructured data in, audit-ready reports out

Audentum transforms spreadsheets, documents, databases, and APIs into validated, queryable data - then generates deterministic, fully traceable audit workpapers.

How it works

AI extraction, deterministic reporting

We isolate non-deterministic AI to a single, verifiable extraction layer. Everything downstream is reproducible, queryable, and fully auditable.

Multi-source ingestion

Ingest from spreadsheets, PDFs, scanned documents, ERP databases, and banking APIs into a unified schema.

Multi-layer validation

Control totals, cross-field consistency, entity resolution, and cross-source reconciliation catch errors before they propagate.

Fixed SQL schema

Once extracted, your data lives in a structured database. Queries are deterministic, testable, and version-controlled.

Traceable workpapers

Every figure in the final report links back to the source document, extraction timestamp, and validation status.

Intelligent extraction

From chaos to clean data

Our AI handles the messy work - parsing invoices, reading bank statements, interpreting spreadsheet layouts - and outputs clean, typed records into your audit database. Every extraction includes confidence scoring and source coordinates for rapid verification.

Automated validation

Catch errors before they compound

Row-level type checks, document-level control totals, and cross-source reconciliations run automatically. Exceptions surface immediately with full context - so your team focuses on judgment, not data wrangling.

Deterministic reporting

Same data, same report - every time

Reports generate from SQL queries against your validated database. No AI variability in the output layer. Workpapers are reproducible, version-controlled, and every figure traces back to its source document.

Built for audit

The control environment you need

We understand that audit work carries legal weight. Audentum is designed for the scrutiny your work demands.

Data isolation

Each client's data lives in a dedicated, encrypted environment. No cross-contamination, ever.

Full audit trail

Every extraction, validation, and report generation is timestamped and immutable. Complete provenance on demand.

Human-in-the-loop

AI handles extraction; your team retains judgment. Low-confidence items route to review queues automatically.

Measurable accuracy

Track extraction accuracy rates over time. Build confidence incrementally with real metrics, not promises.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI-powered audit automation.

What is audit automation?

Audit automation is the use of software to streamline and accelerate repetitive audit tasks. This includes data extraction from source documents (invoices, bank statements, contracts), validation against control totals, cross-referencing between systems, and generating standardized workpapers. By automating these manual processes, audit teams can focus on higher-value judgment work while reducing human error and improving consistency.

How does AI help with audit workpapers?

AI transforms unstructured data - PDFs, scanned documents, spreadsheets with inconsistent layouts - into clean, structured records that feed directly into your audit workpapers. Audentum uses AI specifically for the extraction layer, converting messy real-world documents into typed database records with confidence scores. Everything downstream (validation, reconciliation, report generation) is deterministic SQL, ensuring reproducible and fully traceable outputs that meet professional standards.

Is AI-extracted data reliable for audits?

Yes, when implemented correctly. Audentum provides multiple layers of verification: every extracted value includes a confidence score, source document coordinates for easy verification, and multi-layer validation (control totals, cross-field consistency, entity resolution). Low-confidence extractions automatically route to human review queues. The key is isolating AI to the extraction layer while keeping all downstream processing deterministic - same data in, same report out, every time.

What data sources does Audentum support?

Audentum ingests data from spreadsheets (Excel, CSV, Google Sheets), PDFs and scanned documents (invoices, bank statements, contracts), ERP systems and databases (direct SQL connections), and banking APIs. All sources are normalized into a unified schema, enabling cross-source reconciliation and consistent reporting regardless of where your data originates.

How does Audentum ensure audit trail integrity?

Every operation in Audentum is timestamped and immutable. Each extracted value links back to its source document with exact page and coordinate references. Validation results, exception flags, and report generations are logged with full provenance. Your team can trace any figure in a workpaper back through the validation layer to the original source document, providing complete defensibility for regulatory review.

Is client data secure and isolated?

Absolutely. Each client's data lives in a dedicated, encrypted environment with strict access controls. There is zero data commingling between clients. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit logging. Audentum is designed for the stringent security requirements of financial services and audit firms handling sensitive client information.
