If you know any internal auditor or CFO

The Problem

Audit is a massive cost centre ($290B+ annual spend), mandated by regulation (SOX, BSA/AML), facing talent shortages (75% of CPA will retire in the next decade) and a source of significant operational friction.

It runs the trust system of our economy, yet it’s truly outdated: sampling-based, point-in-time, manual.

The Solution
