The Challenge
Files reach the quality reviewer with review notes open and evidence unlinked, and the archive deadline passes. It persists because completeness is checked by eye once the team has moved on.
How It Works
- Reads the audit file, working papers, review notes, sign-off records and quality checklists.
- Checks each conclusion against its evidence and scores the file on completeness.
- Gives the quality reviewer a ranked blocker list before the archive deadline, not after it.
What It Removes
- Manual checklist walkthroughs of the audit file
- Hunting for evidence behind unlinked conclusions
- Chasing reviewers for outstanding sign-offs
Input Data RequirementsAudit working paper files, review notes and sign-off records, firm quality checklists, engagement risk assessments, archive deadlines
Output FormatRanked blocker list per engagement, a file completeness score by audit area, and a firm-level view of files at risk of late archiving
“The reviewer finds the same gaps on every file and always when nobody has time left to fix them”
