Audit Planning, Not Audit Documentation

This is about planning what to audit — not documenting what you found. Generate the audit program, test procedures, and sampling plans before fieldwork begins. The working paper generator handles documentation after.

Audit Program Generation

AI generates a structured audit program based on the audit area — financial controls, IT general controls, operational processes, regulatory compliance, or vendor management. Each program includes scope, objectives, and risk assessment.

Test Procedure Checklists

Each audit area includes specific test procedures — what to inspect, who to interview, what documents to request, what configurations to verify. Procedures are organized by control objective with clear pass/fail criteria.

Sampling Methodology

Define sample sizes, selection methods (random, stratified, judgmental), and population descriptions for each test procedure. The checklist includes sampling rationale and documentation requirements for audit defensibility.

Risk-Based Prioritization

Audit areas are prioritized by risk level — high, medium, or low — based on factors you specify. High-risk areas receive more detailed procedures and larger sample sizes. The checklist reflects where to focus audit effort.

Findings Template

Each audit area includes a pre-structured findings template — condition, criteria, cause, effect, and recommendation fields. Auditors can document findings directly as they complete test procedures without creating templates from scratch.

Timeline & Resource Planning

Estimate time and resources for each audit area based on scope and complexity. The checklist includes suggested timelines, staffing requirements, and skill levels needed for each test procedure.

How It Works

Define audit scope and areas

Specify the audit engagement — annual internal audit, targeted review, compliance audit, or special investigation. Select audit areas: financial controls, IT, operations, HR, procurement, or custom areas.

AI generates the audit program

Each audit area receives an objective, scope statement, risk rating, test procedures, sampling methodology, and a findings template. The program is organized as a checklist ready for fieldwork execution.

Customize procedures and assign auditors

Add, remove, or modify test procedures based on your organization's specific risks. Assign audit team members to each area and adjust timelines based on resource availability.

Export and begin fieldwork

Export the audit checklist as a structured PDF for fieldwork execution. Use the findings template during testing and transition to the audit working paper generator to formally document results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the audit working paper generator?

The internal audit checklist is for planning — it generates the audit program, test procedures, and sampling plans before fieldwork begins. The audit working paper generator is for documentation — it helps you record objectives, work performed, findings, and conclusions after testing is complete.

What audit areas does it cover?

Financial controls, IT general controls (access management, change management, backup/recovery), operational processes, regulatory compliance, vendor management, HR processes, procurement, and custom audit areas. Describe your audit scope and AI generates appropriate procedures.

Can I use this for SOX compliance audits?

Yes. Generate audit checklists for SOX Section 404 internal control testing. The checklist includes control objectives, test procedures for design and operating effectiveness, sampling methodologies, and deficiency classification templates aligned with PCAOB standards.

Does it follow IIA standards?

The generated audit programs follow the structure expected under IIA International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. This includes risk-based planning, defined objectives, appropriate procedures, and documentation requirements.

Can multiple auditors collaborate on the checklist?

Yes. Save the audit checklist to a Gixo workspace for team collaboration. Assign audit areas to different team members, track completion status, and consolidate findings in a shared workspace.

What export formats are available?

Export as a structured PDF with the full audit program, test procedures, sampling plans, and findings templates. The PDF is formatted for fieldwork use with checkboxes, status fields, and note sections for each procedure.
