1. A consulting support tool, not an audit
WorkpaperIQ is a software-based consulting and decision-support tool. It does not perform an audit or review, does not provide assurance or any attest service, and does not issue an audit opinion or conclusion. Nothing it produces is an audit procedure, audit evidence, or a professional accounting or auditing judgment.
2. AI-generated output
The recommendations are generated using artificial intelligence and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not applicable to the facts of a particular engagement. They are provided for informational purposes only and must be independently evaluated by qualified professionals before any reliance.
3. The firm retains all responsibility
All audit work, the design and performance of audit procedures, the evaluation of evidence, professional judgment, and every decision about the workpapers and the engagement remain solely and exclusively with the firm and its engagement team. WorkpaperIQ does not direct, supervise, or make any audit decision.
4. Not a substitute for professional judgment
The output is not a substitute for the firm’s own procedures, methodology, or professional judgment, and must not be used as the sole basis for any conclusion, sign-off, or action. The firm is responsible for determining what procedures are necessary and sufficient.
5. No guarantee of regulatory outcome
Use of WorkpaperIQ does not guarantee, and is not represented to guarantee, that any workpaper, engagement, or firm will pass a PCAOB inspection, peer review, or any other regulatory or quality examination, or that any deficiency will be identified or avoided.
6. Not legal or accounting advice
WorkpaperIQ does not provide legal, regulatory, or professional accounting advice, and does not interpret professional standards on the firm’s behalf. The application and interpretation of PCAOB standards, ASC/GAAP, and all applicable professional requirements remain the firm’s responsibility.
7. Your data and confidentiality
The firm is responsible for ensuring it has the right to upload any materials and for complying with its confidentiality and professional obligations to its clients. The firm should not upload information it is not permitted to process.
8. Acknowledgement
By using WorkpaperIQ, the firm acknowledges and agrees to the above. These terms are provided in summary form and are subject to the full services agreement between your firm and the provider.
