Practical AI Support for Small Government Audit Teams
AI is creating new possibilities for audit shops, but most teams don't need a giant system overhaul or a flashy solution. They need clearer drafts, fewer rewrites, stronger communication, and better support for newer auditors. That's what my work focuses on.
I've Helped Audit Teams To...
Get clearer first drafts from junior staff. AI helps newer auditor structure their thinking, translate workpapers into well structured findings, and produce substantive first drafts for supervisors to review
Reduce rewriting and editing cycles. When AI handles early organization, summarization, and language shaping, senior auditors spend less time rewriting individual sections and more time refining conclusions.
Improve consistency across reports. Tone, structure, formatting and clarity often vary widely across an audit team. AI tools tuned to your templates and writing conventions help create a more unified voice.
Communicate findings more effectively to public audiences. AI can generate plain-language versions of compelx material, draft alternative wording for sensitive issues, and help teams strengthen the narrative clarity of their reports.
Free up senior auditors for higher-value work. When drafting improves, everything moves faster, giving your most experience team members time for analysis, mentoring and oversight instead of line editing.
These workflows are starting points. Every office has unique needs and constraints. I work with your team to identify and configure AI tools that actually help your specific situation. I don't encourage automation at the expense of rigor or oversight. If an AI workflow won't help your team, I'll say so.
What Makes This Different?
Most AI training focuses on features, not workflows.
They don't account for:
Government audit standards and quality management requirements
The specific challenge of translating workpapers into findings
Tone and sensitivity required for public-facing reports
The mentoring dynamic between senior and junior auditors
Regulatory and resource constraints in government
I bring:
Deep audit expertise - Years inside performance audit offices means I understand your workflows, and the building blocks that contribute to quality reports
Specialized AI implementation training - Through professional development focused on strategic AI applications for communication workflows and advanced study of AI audit governance (ISACA AAIA curriculum), I've learned how professional actually use these tools
Real world testing with audit teams - I've built and tested custom AI workflows with goverment audit leaders on priority areas such as quality management standard reviews and report drafting.
Platform-agnostic - I work with Chat GPT, Claude and other AI tools based on what fits your specific needs, not not vendor preferences or hype
This goes beyond teaching you to use ChatGPT. It's about configuring AI tools to fit your specific audit environment, templates and standards, and knowing when AI isn't the right answer.
