AuditBot

What AuditBot is

AuditBot automates substantive audit testing in Microsoft Excel for UK accountancy firms. Firms export a ledger or trial balance from their existing system and upload it alongside supporting documents. Auditors choose a sampling method, and AuditBot selects ledger items while recording the population, excluded rows and an audit trail. It reads invoices, orders, reports and spreadsheets, matches them to ledger lines, and connects extracted figures to their source documents.

For working paper review, it checks spreadsheet text, formulas and figures against configured materiality, client details and dates. Auditors review its findings and retain judgement. Workpaper templates are available, but review workflows are not. AccountsBot can retrieve company filings and other public-record data live from Companies House, and supports FRS 102, including Section 1A, FRS 105 and IFRS. AuditBot's listed security controls include AES-256 encryption, UK and EU data residency, SSO/SAML, role-based access, penetration testing and GDPR compliance. The maker says customer data is not used to train its models, and third-party model providers are barred from training on it. AuditBot Ltd is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and the software has held ICAEW Technology Accreditation since July 2025. Pricing is quoted per firm based on user count and contract term, and onboarding is one to one.
