AP Audit Prep Assessment
Evaluate controls and evidence workflows before your audit request lands.
AP audits often fail at evidence collection, not policy design. This assessment scores your controls and your ability to assemble support quickly for reviewer sign-off.
How It Works
Answer questions across five control and evidence areas. We score readiness and recommend where automation should assemble evidence for human review.

- Scoring rubric: Each control area is scored on a fixed rubric: mature/automated ≈ 95, partial/manual ≈ 55-65, minimal/none ≈ 10-40. The overall score is the simple average of the five areas.
- Risk bands: Overall score ≥ 80 = low risk, 60-79 = medium risk, below 60 = high risk.
