FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does AI-assisted audit analysis work in Coale-Audit?

Coale-Audit uses machine learning to scan GL entries, invoices, stock movements, and payroll data for anomalies. The AI surfaces unusual patterns -- such as duplicate payments, round-number transactions, or after-hours entries -- that human auditors can then investigate. It accelerates fieldwork without replacing professional judgment.

Can Coale-Audit handle ESG and sustainability auditing?

Yes. Coale-Audit includes a dedicated ESG module with environmental, social, and governance checklists. You can track carbon metrics, diversity data, and governance practices alongside traditional financial audits -- all within the same engagement workflow.

Does Coale-Audit generate board-ready reports?

Absolutely. The reporting engine produces executive summaries, detailed findings reports, and appendices with a single click. Reports include revision tracking so the board always sees the latest version, and you maintain a full history of changes.

Is Coale-Audit suitable for regulated industries in Africa?

Yes. Coale-Audit was designed with African regulatory environments in mind. The compliance framework supports KRA, CBK, CMA, and other regional regulatory requirements. Checklists can be customized for any jurisdiction or industry standard.

How does risk assessment work across departments?

Risk registers map your entire audit universe -- every department, process, and control point. Each risk is scored by likelihood and impact, and the system generates top-risk summaries and anomaly alerts so you can focus audit resources where they matter most.
