AI for PCAOB-registered audit firms

Catch documentation gaps at an early stage — not at inspection.

WorkpaperIQ brings AI workpaper review support to mid-size audit firms: upload a workpaper package, get structured findings in minutes, and work through them with a complete review trail.

A consulting support tool — your professional judgment is always final.

CRITICAL FINDING
Search for unrecorded liabilities stops at year-end — the subsequent-period window is untested.
RECOMMENDED CORRECTION
Vendor statement differences passed as timing without support.
REQUIRED AUDIT TEAM DECISION
Bonus accrual basis changed from prior year — needs the team's call.
DOCUMENTATION ENHANCEMENT

Every finding is tied to the exact file, tab, and cell it came from.
What we solve

Audit quality problems don't start at inspection.
They start in the workpapers.

Comment-clearing rounds that eat weeks. Documentation gaps found after archiving. Inspection surprises that were sitting in the file all along. We built two tools that catch these earlier.

Endless comment clearing

Small documentation issues travel all the way to manager and partner review — then bounce back and forth across teams and time zones.

Gaps found too late

Missing tie-outs, unsupported conclusions, and incomplete procedures surface at wrap-up or archiving — when fixing them is most expensive.

Inspection blind spots

Teams plan without knowing what inspectors have actually challenged in their industry and audit area.

How it works

Four steps. A few minutes. A complete review trail.

1
Upload

Pick the audit area and drop in the workpaper package — folders, zips, and scanned PDFs all work.

2
Espresso-time analysis

The full analysis runs in the time it takes to pull an espresso. Where something is unclear, it asks your team instead of guessing.

3
Suggestions

First-round findings arrive as structured suggestions — each tied to the exact file, tab, and cell it came from, ranked by what matters most.

4
Work through

Your team addresses each suggestion — agree & fix, disagree, or escalate for judgment — building the record your QC and partners can rely on.

FAQ

The questions audit firms actually ask.

No. WorkpaperIQ is a consulting support tool. It does not perform audits, provide assurance, or produce audit conclusions — and nothing it produces is audit evidence. All audit work, professional judgment, and workpaper decisions remain entirely with your firm.

Your client-confidential information is not shared externally or disclosed to other firms. To keep improving service quality, de-identified usage data may be used to improve the system — with client confidentiality preserved. Data handling is governed in full by the services agreement, and your firm remains responsible for its own confidentiality obligations.

Every analysis runs through layered verification — an independent second-pass check on each recommendation, and reference validation against your actual files. Where the system isn't sure, it flags the item to your team instead of guessing. Recommendations are advisory: your professional judgment is always final, which is exactly how it should be.

Your team works through recommendations inside the portal, and summary downloads are limited to the reviewer role. We recommend keeping the working trail in the portal rather than the engagement file. What goes in your file is your team's own review and judgment.

No — and any tool that promises that should worry you. WorkpaperIQ helps your team find and address documentation issues at an early stage, and prepares you for the themes inspectors focus on. Outcomes depend on your audit work; no tool can or should guarantee a regulatory result.

WorkpaperIQ analysis is priced per engagement based on complexity — typically a small fraction of the engagement's audit fee. Register for a free demo and we'll scope it for your firm.
