Assurance must move at the speed of risk
Module · Audit and Assurance
Internal audit was handed a new global standard, a longer risk list and tighter funding in the same year.
Prophesee Audit turns any standard into an executable audit and keeps every finding linked to the clause, the cause and the evidence.
Audit: a day in the life
One working day inside Audit, from the morning forecast to the evidence that the intervention worked.
A wider mandate, on a smaller budget.
Internal audit was handed a new global standard, a longer risk list and tighter funding in the same year. Supplier audit has the opposite problem: the same factory audited five times over by five different customers.

From standards to evidence
NexusEvidence is requested from system owners by email and pasted into the working paper, so the audit runs at the speed of the slowest inbox.
A clause library and checklist builder turn any standard into an executable audit. Every finding stays linked to the clause and the question that raised it.
ForesightCoverage is set by cycle and habit rather than by modelled risk, so the plan does not follow where failure is most likely.
Audit risk scored by site and by contractor, open findings forecast forward, and first-pass effectiveness measured so the plan follows the risk.
PulseControls drift between audits and closed findings quietly reopen, and neither is visible until the next visit.
Findings due and overdue, exemptions awaiting approval, root cause awaiting review, self-assessments overdue. Every one alerts to a named owner.
HorizonA new standard becomes a document and a workshop. Turning it into a clause library, a question set and a checklist is manual every time.
Change coverage, cadence, closure targets or contractor capability and see the effect on findings and readiness before the plan is published.

Foresight Horizon12 AI applications that could be relevant
A sample of what becomes possible on the decision layer, not a fixed list: each application draws on the same data foundation and audit trail, and new ones are configured on the engines, not built from scratch.
Evidence pulled from source systems on schedule and attached to the control.
Any standard becomes a clause library, a question set and a working checklist.
One control tested once, mapped to every framework that relies on it.
Read an existing supplier audit report and map it onto your own checklist.
The execution report is generated from evidence, not reassembled by hand.
Audit risk scored by site and contractor so coverage follows the risk.
Predicts which clauses are most likely to fail at a given site.
Findings, exemptions and self-assessments alert their owner before they slip.
8D and 5-Why in the flow, with cause, finding and evidence staying linked.
Catches the control that quietly stops working between one audit and the next.
Change coverage or cadence and see the effect on findings before you publish.
Model a closure target or a contractor capability uplift against open findings.
Today: The plan is last year's plan, adjusted at the edges.
ForesightAudit risk scored by site and by contractor. Coverage reallocated before the committee asks about it.
Today: A new standard becomes a Word document and a workshop.
NexusA new standard becomes an executable audit. Every question traced to the clause that raised it.
Today: Root cause is a free-text box nobody reads twice.

NexusAn execution report generated from live evidence, rather than reassembled from documents.
Assurance improves when evidence is always available.
