§ Features

Built like an
audit tool should be.

Most audit software was retrofitted from accounting suites. AuditAssist starts from the working paper — and from the way real engagements actually move through a firm.

  • 01

    Nineteen ICAI modules

    Engagement, risk, substantive, recon, confirmations, review, vault — every SA-aligned step under one roof.

  • 02

    Local-first, by default

    Embedded SurrealDB keeps client data on the auditor’s machine. Cloud sync is opt-in, never required.

  • 03

    Tally Prime, two-way

    Pull trial balances, ledgers and vouchers over Tally’s XML API — no CSV exports, no copy-paste.

  • 04

    AI in the side panel

    A working partner that flags exceptions, drafts review notes, and surfaces the right SA citation.

  • 05

    Spotlight, everywhere

    ⌘K jumps to any client, any working paper, any module. Built for keyboard-first auditors.

  • 06

    Rust under the hood

    Tauri + Rust desktop binary. Cold-start under a second, no Electron memory bloat, signed installers.

§ Privacy

Audit data is the most sensitive data your firm holds. It should not live on someone else’s server.

AuditAssist stores everything in an embedded SurrealDB at ~/Library/.../auditassist.db. No upload step. No background sync. No telemetry unless you opt in. When you do want collaboration, point it at your own SurrealDB instance — your data, your network.
