What the demo shows

First-pass review of audit workpapers and draft reports for audit managers and QA

The workpaper is read as a document with a reviewer's margin rail. A first-pass reviewer agent reads each submitted workpaper like a manager and pins notes to paragraphs, each classed (unsupported conclusion, missing tickmark, sample not traced to population, finding without root cause, IIA standard nonconformance) and cited to the Standard and methodology paragraph; a standards checker withdraws the notes it cannot support. The preparer answers in the margin and a re-checker verifies the answer against the evidence before a note clears; a conformance meter counts notes cleared. A finding writer turns exceptions into condition, criteria, cause and effect, finding the cause in change logs and asking management to confirm it; a report checker ties the draft report to the workpapers. Only the audit manager marks a workpaper reviewed, with a reason code; the QAIP sample, the checklist and the board statement come from the same notes.
