Audit-Brief Copilot
Free-text finding to draft brief — deterministically.
A deterministic rule-based composer that turns a free-text finding into a draft brief: applicable PFMA sections, suggested AGSA wording, draft management response and comparable historical findings — no LLM.
What you get
- Root-cause bands
- Draft wording
- Reproducible
Why it matters
First-draft speed without black-box risk.
Drafting a finding well is skilled, slow work — identifying the applicable PFMA section, framing AGSA-aligned wording, anticipating the management response, and recalling comparable historical findings. It is also where junior auditors lose the most time and where inconsistency creeps into the audit file. A composer that does the first-draft mechanics lets the auditor spend their judgement on the substance rather than the scaffolding.
The catch, in an audit context, is that the tool itself must be auditable. A generative LLM that produces plausible but non-reproducible text — that says something different each time, that can't show why it cited a section — has no place in a working paper that must withstand AGSA reliance and ISA 230 documentation standards. Black-box drafting trades one risk for another.
This copilot is deterministic and rule-based — no LLM is invoked. It classifies the finding's root cause across six bands and emits applicable PFMA sections, suggested AGSA wording, a draft management response and comparable historical findings, every output reproducible. The auditor edits, saves and copies it into the working paper, getting the speed of automation without surrendering the defensibility the file demands.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before they sign up.
Does this use a generative AI / LLM?
No. The composer is deterministic and rule-based — no LLM is invoked. Every output is reproducible, which is essential for a working paper that must withstand AGSA reliance and ISA 230 documentation standards.
Does our finding text leave our environment?
No. The composer runs inside your tenant boundary. The finding text and the generated draft stay within your environment.
Can we edit the draft before using it?
Yes. The draft is a starting point — you edit, save and copy it into the working paper or management response, applying your own judgement to the substance.
