Launching: Agentic audit for the firms that want to lead the next decade

AI for audit is out. Agentic audit is in.

Audit produces the trust that markets and businesses depend on, and Rivisio is placing its long-term bet on the profession for exactly that reason. Today we are launching Agentic Workspaces, where AI agents and auditors carry out the entire audit together. The product is built for the firms that intend to lead the profession over the coming decade, and this post explains why we built it and how it works.

What audit really delivers

The age of ticking and tying is behind us. The next decade of audit will put its core principles in focus for every auditor out there, building trust and transparency. Capital markets and everyday business both rest on that assurance, and investors, banks, tax authorities, regulators and suppliers all make decisions based on someone independent having checked who plays by the rules.

Beyond efficiency

We see AI transforming audit in three stages. The first is leverage, where AI makes existing work faster and raises its quality. The second is differentiation, where agentic firms expand into new client relationships and service models. The third is reinvention, where entirely new business models and ways of organising a firm become possible.

Much of the market's attention sits on the first stage, and that stage is already turning into a commodity as general tools like Copilot reach every desk. Claiming an edge today because your firm uses AI is like claiming an edge in 1991 because your office had computers, since within a few years it will simply be the standard way of working. Winning firms will move into differentiation and reinvention. Getting there requires technology built into the service offering itself, delivered by a partner who understands where the profession is heading.

Introducing Agentic Workspaces

Agentic Workspaces take firms there. For the first time, every part of the audit can be carried out in one place, from planning and materiality through analysis and substantive procedures to documentation. Agents handle the heavy lifting alongside the auditor, while the auditor applies judgement and makes every decision. We have built the product around five core areas.

The modern auditor

When agents take on the preparation, the auditor's time shifts from reconciling material to making judgements and advising clients. That raises the bar for the technology behind the firm. Agents have to understand audit methodology and show their work clearly enough to hold up in a quality review. The platform also has to keep pace with regulation and grow with the firm as its service offering changes, which calls for a partner that is building for the profession over the long term.

Opening access

Rivisio Agentic Workspaces is built for the next generation of audit firms. Starting today, we are opening access to a select group of firms that want to lead this shift. If your firm wants to be one of them, get in touch.
