Catch documentation gaps at an early stage — not at inspection.
WorkpaperIQ brings AI workpaper review support to mid-size audit firms: upload a workpaper package, get structured findings in minutes, and work through them with a complete review trail.
The free account includes one InspectionIQ analysis a day and unlimited search of the inspection knowledge base. No card, no sales call.
A consulting support tool — your professional judgment is always final.
Audit quality problems don't start at inspection.
They start in the workpapers.
Comment-clearing rounds that eat weeks. Documentation gaps found after archiving. Inspection surprises that were sitting in the file all along. We built two tools that catch these earlier.
Endless comment clearing
Small documentation issues travel all the way to manager and partner review — then bounce back and forth across teams and time zones.
Gaps found too late
Missing tie-outs, unsupported conclusions, and incomplete procedures surface at wrap-up or archiving — when fixing them is most expensive.
Inspection blind spots
Teams plan without knowing what inspectors have actually challenged in their industry and audit area.
WorkpaperIQ
Upload a completed workpaper package for one audit area. Get structured findings your team works through in the portal — with a full review trail your managers and QC can see.
InspectionIQ
Before planning, see what PCAOB inspectors have flagged in your industry and audit area — pattern-level themes from public inspection reports, so your team prepares for the right risks from day one.
Ask a question. Get the themes, the frequency, and what they mean for your program.
Start free — one analysis a day → Already have access? Open InspectionIQ →Four steps. A few minutes. A complete review trail.
Upload
Pick the audit area and drop in the workpaper package — select the whole set at once, or zip a folder to send it in one piece. Scanned PDFs are fine.
Espresso-time analysis
The full analysis runs in the time it takes to pull an espresso. Where something is unclear, it asks your team instead of guessing.
Suggestions
First-round findings arrive as structured suggestions — each tied to the exact file, tab, and cell it came from, ranked by what matters most.
Work through
Your team addresses each suggestion — agree & fix, disagree, or escalate for judgment — building the record your QC and partners can rely on.
Built by auditors and AI researchers —
not by a software company guessing at audit.

A CPA with 10+ years in PCAOB audits — from staff to leader. He understands auditing, auditors, and audit firms from top to bottom, and focuses not only on the audit itself but on the environment around it. He believes auditors' time belongs in judgment — not formatting, clearing comments, or fixing grammar.

An AI researcher out of MIT, focused on one thing: making AI fast, efficient, and dependable — more done with less compute, less cost, less waiting. While others race to build bigger models, he builds AI professionals can actually rely on every day.
The questions audit firms actually ask.
No. WorkpaperIQ is a consulting support tool. It does not perform audits, provide assurance, or produce audit conclusions — and nothing it produces is audit evidence. All audit work, professional judgment, and workpaper decisions remain entirely with your firm.
Your client-confidential information is not shared externally or disclosed to other firms. To keep improving service quality, de-identified usage data may be used to improve the system — with client confidentiality preserved. Data handling is governed in full by the services agreement, and your firm remains responsible for its own confidentiality obligations.
Every analysis runs through layered verification — an independent second-pass check on each recommendation, and reference validation against your actual files. Where the system isn't sure, it flags the item to your team instead of guessing. Recommendations are advisory: your professional judgment is always final, which is exactly how it should be.
Inspectors read the audit file, and our portal is not part of it — we never write anything into your engagement file. What goes in the file is your team's own review, judgment and documentation, prepared to your firm's own documentation policy: your firm's call, not ours. Our terms are explicit about the other half — nothing we produce is audit evidence, and it may not be presented as your team's own audit work. The portal keeps the working history of each analysis where your managers and QC can see it.
No — and any tool that promises that should worry you. WorkpaperIQ helps your team find and address documentation issues at an early stage, and prepares you for the themes inspectors focus on. Outcomes depend on your audit work; no tool can or should guarantee a regulatory result.
One InspectionIQ analysis every day — the recurring PCAOB themes for your industry and audit area, and what they mean for your program — plus unlimited search of the inspection knowledge base. The daily analysis refreshes at midnight US Eastern time. No card and no sales call; invite a colleague and you each get an extra analysis that day. WorkpaperIQ workpaper analysis is a separate product and starts with a demo.
InspectionIQ has a free tier — one analysis a day, no card. WorkpaperIQ analysis is priced per engagement based on complexity — typically a small fraction of the engagement's audit fee. Book a demo and we'll scope it for your firm.
