The audit you wish you could ask your auditor for.
Punchcard is the operating system your auditor uses to run a better engagement. Clear requests. Instant feedback on uploads. A live list both sides share. Less back-and-forth, less rework, fewer surprises — and your audit done days sooner.
The usual audit
You know what the friction feels like.
If you've been through an audit cycle, you've lived all three of these.
Endless spreadsheet trackers
PBC lists that lag behind reality, status conversations over email, and the same request asked twice because nobody can find the first answer.
Files that go missing
Evidence uploaded to a shared folder gets misfiled, named wrong, or buried — then surfaces as a "follow-up" three weeks later in the middle of fieldwork.
Ambiguous instructions
A request says "send the AR aging detail" — but tied to which subledger, as of which date, in which cut? You guess. Then you redo.
What you get
Six ways Punchcard makes the audit easier on you.
You don't buy Punchcard — your auditor brings it. You get the experience.
Requests built to be understood, not interpreted.
Every PBC item is structured with the exact files, date ranges, and format your auditor needs. No guessing what the auditor meant — what to send is on the request, with examples.
Instant feedback when you upload.
CoAudit checks your support against the request the moment it lands. If the file is missing a tab, has the wrong date range, or doesn't tie to the trial balance, you know in seconds — not after review.
One thread per request, not a spreadsheet of questions.
Questions, clarifications, and re-asks live on the request itself. Open the item, see the history, leave a comment. No more "which email was that in?"
Status you can trust.
Both sides see the same live list: what's open, what's in review, what's done, what's blocked. Your team plans around real status instead of last week's tracker.
Less back-and-forth on substantive testing.
Your auditor's agents read the evidence you upload and tie it back to the GL. The work that used to require a sample of 40 manual look-ups happens automatically — meaning fewer "can you re-send" requests during fieldwork.
Days back, every engagement.
Clients report up to 15% less rework and meaningfully shorter audit cycles. Your CFO sees the same audit close faster, with cleaner support, every year.

Your data, treated with care.
Punchcard is built around evidence and testing, not generic document chat. Files you upload are encrypted in transit and at rest, scoped to your engagement, and never used to train models. Your auditor controls access and retention — you can see exactly who's opened what. Read our security overview or the privacy policy.
Assurance, one punchcard at a time.
See Punchcard handle a real engagement. We'll walk through requests, testing, and review using your evidence — every judgment call still in human hands.
