Use case
From the field, AI native workflow redesign of sox controls testing process within Internal Audit Finance function.
Get the playbookA senior Convolving delivery team partnered with the internal audit function for one sprint. Operators from our expert network – with forty combined years inside Big Four audit and SOX programmes – reviewed the redesign at each checkpoint. Forward-deployed engineers built inside the team's GRC, ERP, and evidence-repository stack. One flat fee, artifact out, no retainer creep.
Today SOX controls testing runs on quarterly samples drawn by hand. A team of three to five works the cycle for six to eight weeks.
Sample sizes follow AICPA tables, not transaction risk. Evidence collection is a request-and-attach exercise across owners. Findings land late in the quarter, leaving thin remediation windows. Deloitte's Zora benchmark and AuditBoard deployments report roughly thirty percent audit-time reduction once continuous monitoring lands; the legacy stack does not get there.

Cycle compression on the legacy stack is rounding error; the bottleneck is sample-by-sample evidence chase.
AICPA-table sample sizes give statistical confidence, not transaction-level coverage. Material exceptions outside the sample show up in the next external audit.
Forty to fifty percent of cycle time goes to requests, reminders, and reformatting attachments.
