Prepare audit working paper drafts with the structure reviewers expect

Use Gixo to prepare working paper drafts with the objective, procedure, evidence notes, findings structure, and conclusion framework already laid out before final review.

Start 14-day Lex trial View Lex pricing

An AI audit working paper generator prepares the working paper draft itself — objective and scope, procedure and evidence notes, and a findings/exceptions structure — so a reviewer has a complete documentation framework before the audit team reaches final conclusions. It does not perform the audit: testing, evidence evaluation, and the final audit opinion still belong to the qualified audit team. Gixo's version also attaches a review workflow to the same artifact and exports it when the draft is ready for the next step in the audit process.

This is a real Lex export for invented parties. Inspect the input and clauses as a worked example, with professional review kept separate from automated drafting and checks.

Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (worked example)

A mutual non-disclosure agreement of 14 numbered clauses between two invented parties: definitions, what counts as confidential information, exclusions, the receiving party's obligations, permitted disclosures, return of materials, remedies, term, survival, governing law, notices and signature blocks. Its first page says it is a worked example, not a legal document.

Inspect the source brief or data

Draft a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement between Larkfield Analytics Ltd (Party A) and Fenwick & Dale Stores Ltd (Party B). Governing law: England and Wales. Effective date: 2027-01-15. Term: Two years from the effective date. Confidentiality: Three years after disclosure. A mutual agreement: each party may disclose and receive confidential information. State on the first page that the parties, people and addresses in this agreement are invented and that it is a worked example, not a legal document. The notice email address of Larkfield Analytics Ltd is notices@larkfield-analytics.example and of Fenwick & Dale Stores Ltd is notices@fenwick-dale.example (both invented).

Read the sample review notes

Read mechanically against the intake, not by a lawyer: all 12 facts the intake gave are in the draft, nothing is left as a placeholder, and it states no term the intake did not give.

Make the intake specific

Supply the parties, document kind, jurisdiction, obligations, dates and reference material. Review imported content and retain its source identity before using it in a new matter.

Inspect clauses and changes

Use the legal workspace's permitted structural tools, Draft Checks and review paths. Compare proposed changes with the saved draft and original material; unsupported Word edits must be handled explicitly.

Approve the exact version

Have qualified counsel review enforceability, local requirements and the actual commercial intent. Check the current approval state and the downloaded document after a change.

Structured clause proposals and permitted changes

Select the target clause and give Ask Lex a bounded instruction. Missing facts remain visible for review. Inspect the before-and-after proposal, required clause checks and any explicit outside-matrix or mandatory-clause override before versioned application. Use the legal workspace's structural allowlist rather than assuming every general content-editor block is available.

Playbooks, source evidence and obligations

Inspect immutable playbook versions, anchored findings, provenance and precedent variants before staging a change. Matters retain original sources, quotation findings and source-version comparisons. Review extracted obligations for timing, ownership and source revision; negotiation turns and agreement-pack review cells have their own decisions and current-version requirements.

Original Word, redlines and the delivery receipt

Original-format Word export, tracked changes against an original and saved-version redlines are separate paths. Unsupported edits must be surfaced rather than silently claimed as preserved. Inspect the layout, validator notes and downloaded file, then retain its delivery receipt. Counsel's review applies to the actual matter and version.

AI contract review, key terms and review of every document

Every contract in Lex, drafted or imported, gets an AI contract review: each clause the document type expects marked present, weak or absent; up to 25 risks with a level, the party each falls on, why it matters and replacement wording; and provisions that cannot both be followed. Every quotation is checked against the contract text, findings are decided before approval, and there is no single risk score. The same review reads the key terms and obligations with the words they quote and proposes them into the Agreement Pack. Review every document puts up to 25 documents of an Agreement Pack, or up to 200 in a matter, into one table with your own questions as columns and an Excel export. Approvers can be named in order, and signing supports up to 10 signers with an optional signing order and automatic reminders; it is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified one. A qualified reviewer still decides what the contract says.

Lex does not provide legal advice or certify compliance. The public specimen is not a universally reusable legal template. Word fidelity depends on the supported original-document and saved-version path; unrestricted Power Edit and image insertion are not legal editing features.

What is an AI audit working paper generator for?

Prepare compliance drafts designed to surface missing facts as review items. Reviewers still verify every fact and conclusion before action.

Objective and scope structure

Prepare the document around the assertion, objective, and scope reviewers will expect to see at the top of the working paper.

Procedure and evidence notes

Lay out the procedure, evidence requests, and work-performed sections so the team has a clean documentation framework before completion.

Findings and exceptions structure

Prepare a consistent place for exceptions, observations, and supporting detail without pretending the findings have already been proven.

Cross-reference support

Keep the document organized so reference points, supporting evidence, and related artifacts can be added during review.

No audit-opinion overclaim

The workflow helps prepare the artifact. Audit judgment, evidence, and final conclusions still belong to the qualified audit team.

Review attached to the paper

After the first draft, Lex runs an AI contract review of the whole contract, with every quotation checked against the text, beside rule checks: clause coverage against a versioned playbook, clause-conflict detection, and defined-term and cross-reference checks. Findings, tracked-change DOCX redlines, comments, review state, assignees, due dates, and version history all stay attached to the same document. A contract imported from Word can go back as that same DOCX, with the Lex edits shown as Word tracked changes; where Lex cannot track an edit faithfully, such as inside a field, an existing revision, a header or a footer, it refuses the export instead of altering the document. Reviewers still verify every clause and conclusion.

How do teams use an AI audit working paper generator in the audit process?

1
Define the audit objective

Start with the process, control area, or assertion being tested and the purpose of the working paper.

2
Prepare the documentation structure

Generate the objective, scope, procedure, evidence, and findings sections around that audit job.

3
Complete and review with the team

Use the workspace to refine the working paper as evidence is collected and the review comments come in.

4
Export when ready

Export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT when the working paper draft is ready for the next audit workflow.

The other columns describe what each kind of tool is generally for, not a test of a named product, and products differ. Ask for an output with objective, procedure, evidence and findings sections, and where reviewer comments stay. Run the same brief and reference files through anything on your shortlist, then compare the draft, the review trail and the export.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gixo produce the final audit conclusion?
No. It helps prepare the working paper draft and documentation structure. Final conclusions remain with the qualified audit team.
Can I use this for internal or external audit support?
Yes, as a drafting aid for the written artifact. The actual testing, evidence evaluation, and sign-off still happen in the audit process.
Can I cross-reference other evidence and working papers?
Yes. The document can be structured for cross-reference and review as the audit file develops.
Does Gixo provide legal or compliance advice?
Gixo helps prepare regulated work. It does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or replace professional review.
What is an AI audit working paper generator?
It's a drafting tool that prepares the working paper's objective and scope, procedure and evidence notes, and findings/exceptions structure before the audit team completes testing and review. Gixo's version does not produce the final audit conclusion — that stays with the qualified audit team — and attaches a review workflow directly to the drafted artifact.
What's the difference between an audit working paper generator and an audit checklist generator?
A checklist generator (Gixo's AI Internal Audit Checklist Generator) supports planning — defining the audit program and test steps before fieldwork starts. A working paper generator supports documentation — drafting the objective, procedure, evidence notes, and findings structure that record the work as it's performed and reviewed.
