The Petual Platform
From evidence request to signed workpaper
Four connected layers: evidence collection, control mapping, workpaper generation, and exception tracking. Each feeds the next so the output at each stage is structured input for the one that follows.
01 Evidence Collection
Structured requests. Automatic follow-up. No chasing.
Petual generates evidence request lists from your control matrix, routes them to the right contacts, and closes the loop automatically when documents arrive. Senior auditors spend time reviewing, not following up.
See it in action| Control ID | Request | Owner | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| ITGC-01 | Access provisioning log Q2 | IT Operations | Received |
| FIN-07 | Journal entry approval matrix | Accounting | In Review |
| ITGC-04 | Change management tickets | IT Operations | Overdue |
| FIN-12 | Reconciliation sign-off sheet | Finance | Received |
| HR-03 | Termination access revocation log | HR Systems | Pending |
02 Control Mapping
Evidence linked to the objective it actually supports
The most common workpaper deficiency is evidence that does not clearly connect to the control it is supposed to test. Petual maps each piece of evidence to the relevant objective, so reviewers can trace the chain from assertion to documentation.
Request Access03 Workpaper Generation
Structured workpapers generated from your evidence
When evidence is collected and mapped, Petual assembles the workpaper automatically: objectives, procedures, population, testing, conclusions, and exceptions. The auditor reviews and signs. The format is PCAOB-aligned and review-ready from the first draft.
Get started| WP Ref | Exception | Control | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| WP-FIN-07 | Approval missing for 2 JEs over $500k | FIN-07 | High |
| WP-ITGC-04 | Change ticket lacking secondary approval | ITGC-04 | Medium |
| WP-HR-03 | Termination access revocation delayed 9 days | HR-03 | Medium |
| WP-ITGC-01 | No exceptions noted | ITGC-01 | None |
04 Exception Tracking
Every exception logged, routed, and resolved in one place
When exceptions are identified during testing, Petual creates a structured register entry automatically: workpaper reference, description, severity, and required resolution. Nothing falls through the cracks between workpaper and management comment.

Connects to the tools your team already uses
Petual integrates with your existing GRC platform, document storage, and audit management system. Evidence flows in; workpapers flow out.
