Increase the speed of accounting tests with Vigilant AI™

Vigilant AI provides a secure platform and data capture process to rapidly analyze and cross-correlate 100% of your client’s structured and unstructured financial data to identify all available documentation for their audit, risk and assurance needs. Powered by our Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine and an advanced, secure data architecture, we take a holistic approach, analyzing all relevant accounting and text-based documents tagging them for rapid querying and analysis. In doing so our analysis engine builds a model of all the relevant business process data, including but not limited to, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and associated ERP data, 3rd party documents, and legal agreements.

By building a fully contextualized data lake of your client’s accounting entries and business process documentation, you can easily find all the documentation associated with a given transaction or set of financial processes. Harnessing the power of AI, Vigilant AI will allow you to tag every document against every important attribute automatically, which in turn will significantly reduce the labor required to find the correct scope of documents for any accounting tests you are required to perform; it will turn weeks of analysis into days. It’s comprehensive nature increases client assurance, and it’s speed ensures high margins for your engagements.
