Use cases
Audit use cases
Working Paper Review
Manager and partner review of working papers is the audit bottleneck.
Rule packs flag issues across working papers with source links, so partner attention goes to the flagged items first.
Going Concern Assessment
Going concern indicators hide across financials, board minutes, and contracts.
Automated detection of GC red flags with evidence aggregation.
Related Party Identification
Identifying RPTs requires cross-referencing across multiple sources.
Extraction of related party references across sources, each linked to its passage.
Internal Controls Testing
Testing internal controls per ICFR/SOX requires sampling and documentation at scale.
Evidence located against control descriptions, with exceptions flagged by rules you define.

How findings read
The same evidence model in every sector
Answers cite the sources they rely on. Records DataStruct could not confirm are shown separately for a reviewer to check, related material is kept apart from evidence, and a finding with no support says so. Access is controlled by workspace roles, and sensitive actions are audit logged.
