AI without the trail is not assurance.
If a CAE has to sign on a draft, the system needs to show what fed it, who reviewed it, and what changed. That is the floor, not a feature.
About Audvera
We’re building the system internal audit should have had ten years ago.
Audvera is an AI-native audit and GRC platform. Engagement execution and controls operations live on the same record. AI drafts inside the trail — risks, controls, procedures, evidence, review comments, and signoff stay tied together while the audit moves.
We don’t sell a prompt box. The selling moment is real audit work getting created, reviewed, and defended inside the audit flow.
The founder — short version
Two decades inside audit. Now writing the code.
Lalit B. — Founder of Audvera
Director of Internal Audit (current role) · 18 years across IT audit, audit analytics, and quality assurance · now financial / operational audit · driving AI adoption inside everyday audit workflow.
I built Audvera after two decades inside internal audit, IT audit, audit analytics, and quality assurance — risk-based planning, control design, SOX ITGC, vendor and concentration risk, audit automation, and the mentoring of auditors against the IIA Standards. The years inside the function are why the deficiency hierarchy, review gates, and signoff path are mandatory in this product, not optional.
After watching audit work get re-typed across Word, Excel, SharePoint, and three GRC tools that didn’t talk to each other, the question changed from “which tool do we buy?” to “what would a tool look like if it was built by someone who had to defend the workpaper at year-end?”
That is the posture behind Audvera. The AI generation pipeline and the chain-integrity links between risks, controls, tests, and findings — every part of how this product reasons about an audit — was designed by someone who has sat on both sides of the review.
The goal isn’t to make audit faster by removing the auditor. It is to remove the rebuild — the second and third typing of the same finding into the same report.
What we believe
Four positions we’re willing to defend.
Engagement work and the controls catalog are one record.
Detaching them is how risk registers go stale. Audvera keeps risks, controls, procedures, tests, and evidence wired together while the audit moves.
First value happens inside an audit, not after a taxonomy cleanup.
The free assessment and Launchpad demo are the entry points. New users build a real plan in minutes, then convert into a paid engagement.
Built by an auditor who codes, not a coder guessing at audit.
Two decades of internal audit, IT audit, and audit analytics work — now paired with the engineering to ship it. The product is opinionated because the problem was lived.
How we got here
From the workpaper to the codebase.
Step 01
Inside the audit function
Two decades across internal audit, IT audit, audit analytics, and quality assurance. Risk-based engagement leadership, data-driven testing design, and mentoring auditors against IIA Standards, SOX, and PCAOB expectations.
Step 02
Build began
Audvera started as a single Flask service answering one question — what would an audit tool look like if the AI had the engagement, the risk register, and the evidence already loaded before it drafted anything.
Step 03
Linked record system shipped
Risk register, controls catalog, RCM, engagement workspace, agentic test runs, append-only event log, review gates and signoff. The decision was to make the trail mandatory, not optional.
Step 04
Going to market
Free AI risk assessment, 14-day signed trial, Launchpad demo, pricing for internal audit teams and small firms. Built for CAEs, audit directors, and audit transformation leads who are tired of paying enterprise GRC prices for a chatbot bolt-on.
Who this is for
Internal audit teams and small firms that want a system, not a chatbot.
Pro and Team plans fit internal audit groups inside one company. Firm Starter and Firm Growth fit boutique audit firms running multiple clients. Enterprise adds SSO, security review, and rollout support.
