AuditBot

A virtual hug to the founders out there. Helen said to me recently that people think being a founder is all glitz and glamour. It really isn’t, I get it. Many days you feel like you’re spread too thin, like you’re the head of five different departments and you’re not sure which one you’re supposed to be today. I love this, but if you start a business expecting overnight success and private jets, it’s a bit of a shock. The truth is, some great ideas never get their moment simply because the founder gave up too early. If you know your idea is solid, the only real option is to keep going. Keep pushing. Eventually things do start to clear. So if you’re having a tough one, if you’re exhausted, if the effort isn’t matching the reward right now… stick at it and give your ideas the attention they deserve. But give yourself some time off. Founders never really switch off, they just do something different for a moment. And days off sometimes feel like an inconvenience, but they’re actually the reset button you don’t realise you need. Yesterday I worked a 14-hour day just so I could clear the decks before heading to a wedding in the Cotswolds today with my wife. That feels like a good balance.

What a workshop over in Peterborough with Moore East Midlands! Genuinely so exciting to see teams interacting with AuditBot in real life and watch them pick it up in minutes. Thanks to Dixant Kandel for helping to make it happen and to the team for throwing themselves into something new. Excited to see how things progress in the future.

Audit is a regulated industry: fieldwork must be accurate. AuditBot is an assistive tool that standardises core tests and evidence collation, whilst supporting professional judgement. What this means in practice: 1) Consistent working papers across teams and offices and exportable to your existing stack. 2) Deterministic, AuditBot deploys rules-driven matching. If a value isn’t present, you need a smart tool that won’t hallucinate or creatively fill in the gaps. 3) Security and governance: UK data residency and ISO 27001 controls underpin the workflow. Outcomes: reviewers spend time on conclusions and risk, not formatting and reconciling mismatched evidence. It makes efficiency something you can scale. www.auditbot.co

Hey auditors.... the good news is, AuditBot is really good. The bad news it, you may not be using it yet. Not only does it more than half the time taken on transaction testing, it also: ✅ Boosts workflow efficiency ✅ Helps eliminate bias ✅ Standardises outputs with automated working papers ✅ Gives guardrails to less experienced staff. In addition, saving chargeable time allows time to be applied elsewhere to generate further revenue and help your audit firm grow. Oh, and the bigger the sample, the more extraordinary the results. Let me know if you'd like to hear more.

Audit is often seen as a necessary 'pain purchase' for clients, and when choosing an audit firm, it is accuracy, cost and most critically, the ease of engagement that are seen as increasingly critical factors for those being audited. In a recent discussion, we explored how AuditBot directly addresses these challenges, offering a competitive edge in a price-sensitive market. Our platform is designed to drive overall efficiency, particularly in terms of time, by automating repetitive tasks. This allows experienced staff to focus on judgment-based work, optimising resource allocation and reducing the high costs associated with manual processes. AuditBot's pricing model is based on audit volume rather than a per-person-per-month subscription, making it a cost-effective solution for firms looking to grow their audit service while maintaining competitive pricing. We believe that by embracing agentic AI-driven solutions proactively, firms can not only meet evolving industry standards but also gain a significant advantage. DEMO: https://lnkd.in/epKRYA9i
