The findings are in the working papers; the report text starts from scratch.

The audit assistant pulls balances, account movements and sample results from the ERP and the audit software. From these come the report tables, the numbered paragraphs and the reasoning for every finding, each with a reference to the working paper. If a balance changes in a post-closing adjustment run, the table has to be reworked again, and so does the text that goes with it.

1audit engagementA report is due on the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2025.
31working papersThe audit procedures on inventories, receivables and provisions are documented.
14report tablesBalances and prior-year comparisons are compiled from the ERP and the audit software.
2passes after post-closing adjustmentsTwo posting runs after the end of the audit shift figures in text that has already been written.

Nothing is copied by hand from working paper to numbered paragraph any more. That removes 40% of the drafting effort and cuts the two passes after the post-closing adjustments to one.

The 40% reduction in drafting effort is this agent's headline figure. The numbers of working papers, report tables and adjustment runs describe a typical audit engagement and were not measured.

Three steps through the process.

The agent brings figures and findings together in the draft report and backs every numbered paragraph with its working paper; the auditor gives the audit opinion.

Reconcile balances against the working papers

The agent pulls the values from the ERP and compares them with the audited amounts in the working papers. It lists every discrepancy with account and working paper number.

Engagement WP-6318, 14 tables, 2 discrepancies, account 1400 against working paper 07

Turn findings into numbered paragraphs

For every documented finding, the agent writes a numbered paragraph covering the facts, the audit procedure and the result. The reference to the working paper sits with the paragraph.

21 numbered paragraphs, each referencing one of the 31 working papers

Deliver the draft report with a list of appendices

The agent assembles tables, numbered paragraphs and the list of appendices into the draft. The auditor reviews it, adds the opinion and signs.

What the agent does not do.

It does not issue an audit opinion or word an auditor's report.

It presents tables and numbered paragraphs with references to the working papers. The auditor is responsible for the opinion and signs it.

It does not perform any audit procedures itself.

It processes what is documented, such as the sample of receivables from working paper 12. The audit lead judges whether its scope is sufficient.

Postings after the last data extract are not in the draft.

For engagement WP-6318 it works with the data as at 12 February. If a post-closing adjustment run follows, the audit assistant reports it and the reconciliation runs again.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Audit Report Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “40% less drafting effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
