Audit Assistant is all about helping users to powerfully collaborate …

Since 2009 we have made secure, online documentation software to help auditors and related professionals complete their work efficiently and in compliance with assurance and reporting standards. Our initial focus was on the SME and Charity sectors, but we have extended our service to include larger IFRS entities providing both small and mid-tier firms and networks with the support they need to stay up to speed. Our service includes training and onboarding including file-review and quality control assistance.

Users collaborate with each other, with their clients, with third parties and with us using real-time cloud-based technology to increase accuracy and reduce stress. We take complex auditing and accounting standards and break them down into usable, interactive, efficient workflows. We believe in continual improvement. We are continually pushing forward to make the most intuitive, most efficient financial auditing tools.

As an experienced audit professional, I have used a few audit packages over the years, and I value the fact that Audit Assistant is New Zealand Grown, and therefore has the NZ references to ISAs and NZ accounting standards.
