AI Audit Automation

Collect Evidence. Map Controls. Generate Workpapers.

Petual handles the request chase, control mapping, and workpaper drafting so your audit team reviews instead of transcribes.

The Problem

In a typical SOX cycle, most of the team's hours go to mechanical coordination

Chasing evidence requests, reformatting documents, and drafting workpapers consumes the time your team should spend evaluating controls and documenting findings.

  • Evidence requests go unanswered for days, stalling the entire engagement
  • Control mapping from evidence to criteria done manually, line by line
  • Workpaper drafts start from blank templates, rebuilt engagement after engagement
  • Senior reviewers spend hours reformatting instead of reviewing substance
How It Works

From evidence request to finished workpaper

Petual connects to your audit environment and handles the mechanical layers so your team focuses on findings.

01

Connect and Configure

Link your audit management system and evidence repository. Petual maps your control framework once and learns your workpaper templates.

02

Automate Evidence Collection

Petual sends evidence requests, tracks responses, sends reminders, and routes received files to the right control bucket automatically.

03

Review, Not Transcribe

Petual drafts the workpaper, maps the evidence to criteria, and flags exceptions. Your team opens a near-complete file, not a blank page.

Capabilities

Everything the request-to-workpaper cycle requires

Purpose-built for audit and assurance workflows, not repurposed from a generic AI tool.

Evidence Request Automation

Draft and send evidence requests directly from your control matrix. Track responses, send reminders, and close the loop without spreadsheet chasing.

Control Mapping Engine

Petual reads received evidence and maps it to your control criteria. SOC 2, ISO 27001, and custom frameworks supported out of the box.

Workpaper Generation

AI drafts workpapers in your firm's format, pre-populated with evidence citations, control language, and exception narratives for manager review.

Exception Detection

Petual surfaces control gaps and inconsistencies automatically, flagging items for senior review before they reach the manager's desk.

Audit Trail and Sign-Off

Every AI action is logged with timestamps, user confirmations, and evidence references. Full chain-of-custody from request to signed workpaper.

Integrations

Connects with AuditBoard, Workiva, SharePoint, and your firm's document management system. Evidence flows in, workpapers flow out.

The Platform

Built for assurance engagements, not generic document processing

Petual understands audit frameworks and evidence types natively. It does not require prompt engineering or custom configuration for each engagement type.

  • Understands audit-speak: population testing, attribute sampling, control deficiencies
  • Adapts to each firm's workpaper style and reviewer preferences
  • Secure evidence handling with infrastructure designed around SOC 2 controls
