An agentic co-pilot for risk assurance auditors
A leading professional services firm (concept)
Concept: we designed this with the client, but it has not been deployed yet. The figures show the impact we projected.
Person-days projected to be saved per engagement
Over internal knowledge and external standards
The challenge
Auditors researched standards, drafted observations and extracted insights by hand for every engagement, with knowledge spread across internal archives and external frameworks such as ISO, COSO, MAS and PDPA.
What we proposed
- A secure generative AI co-pilot built on agentic retrieval-augmented generation.
- Internal knowledge and external standards unified into one assistant that auditors question in plain language.
- Instant access to compliance guidance, reuse of historical findings and consistent drafting across reports.
Projected impact
- Research time per audit projected to fall by around 60%.
- More than two person-days projected to be saved per engagement.
- Shorter cycle times and more consistent reports across risk assurance work.
