Key enhancements include:

- Enhanced Risk Assessment Workflow: A redesigned risk assessment workflow creates a direct, highly traceable path from initial observations to documented risks. Risk indicators, risk identification and risk response are now more tightly connected throughout the engagement.
- End-to-End Internal Controls: Scalable optionality for applicable entity type and audit approach, offering unified controls workflow that connects process understanding, design and implementation (D&I) assessments, and test of operating effectiveness. This centralization gives reviewers a clean, immediate summary of each control’s status.
- Integrated PCAOB workflows: Built-in support for both integrated and non-integrated PCAOB public company audits, alongside dedicated interim (10-Q) review workflows. PCAOB-specific guidance, standards and checklists seamlessly surface based on engagement set up.
- Flexible Stratification in Sampling: A redesigned sampling interface that lets users define up to five custom strata — a significant expansion from the previous single-stratum limitation. The update also includes built-in stratification guardrails to support statistically sound, standards-compliant sample design and alignment with PCAOB requirements where applicable.
- Dynamic Financial Reporting: Streamlined financial statement tools featuring added dynamic calculations and new cashflow worksheets across multiple industries to simplify financial statement preparation.
- Stronger engagement file retention and documentation support: Help firms prepare more complete files in anticipation of inspections and peer review
