Structured to Meet Audit Standards

Each working paper follows the standard structure auditors expect: objective, scope, procedure, work performed, findings, and conclusion — with proper cross-references.

Audit Objective

Define the audit objective, scope, assertions tested, period under review, and applicable standards. The objective frames the entire working paper and connects to the conclusion.

Procedure Design

AI generates appropriate procedures — walkthrough, inquiry, observation, re-performance, analytical review, or substantive testing — based on the audit objective and risk assessment.

Work Performed

Document sample selection methodology, testing results, evidence gathered, and procedures completed. Structured format ensures work performed is traceable to the stated procedure.

Findings & Exceptions

Document findings with severity classification (material, significant, minor), root cause analysis, impact assessment, and management response. Exceptions are linked to specific test results.

Conclusion & Opinion

The conclusion links directly to the stated objective — whether the audit evidence supports the assertion being tested. Supports the overall audit opinion with specific working paper references.

Cross-References

Tick marks, reference codes, and links to other working papers and evidence. Each finding, sample, and conclusion is traceable through the audit file with proper indexing.

How It Works

Define audit area and objective

Specify the audit area — financial statements, internal controls, compliance, operational, IT — and the specific objective or assertion being tested.

Select audit procedures

Choose from walkthrough, inquiry, observation, re-performance, analytical review, or substantive testing. AI generates procedure steps appropriate for the audit objective.

AI generates structured working paper

The working paper includes objective, scope, procedure, work performed section (ready for your test results), findings template, and conclusion framework.

Document findings and export

Complete the work performed section with your test results. Document findings with severity ratings. Export as PDF with audit-standard formatting and cross-references.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of audits does this support?

Gixo generates working papers for financial statement audits, internal control testing, compliance audits, operational audits, IT audits, and special investigations. Each type uses appropriate procedures and finding classifications.

Does it follow audit standards?

Working papers follow the standard documentation structure expected under ISA, PCAOB, IIA, and GAAS frameworks. The structure ensures objectives, procedures, evidence, findings, and conclusions are properly connected and documented.

Can I cross-reference other working papers?

Yes. Add reference codes and tick marks that link to other working papers in the audit file. The editor supports internal cross-referencing and evidence indexing for audit trail purposes.

How do I document findings?

Findings include severity classification (material weakness, significant deficiency, minor observation), condition, criteria, cause, effect, and recommendation. Each finding links to specific test results in the work performed section.

Is this appropriate for external audits?

Gixo generates the working paper structure and procedure design. For external audits, the auditor must complete the work performed section with actual test results and evidence. The tool accelerates documentation, not the audit itself.

Does Gixo provide audit opinions?

No. Gixo generates working paper documentation structure. The audit conclusion and opinion must be formed by the qualified auditor based on the evidence gathered. All working papers should be reviewed by the audit team.
