Andera and RSM Create an AI-Enabled Control Testing Platform to Modernize Internal Audit
Many organizations, especially in the middle market, are struggling to build or maintain a high-performing internal audit function due to talent shortages, evolving risk landscapes and rising costs. As regulatory requirements and business environments become increasingly complex, organizations need ways to strengthen audit quality, expand testing coverage and improve efficiency without adding unnecessary burden to their teams.
To help address these challenges, Andera and RSM US LLP ("RSM") - the leading provider of consulting, tax and assurance services for the middle market - have announced a strategic alliance to launch an AI-enabled control testing platform designed to help internal audit functions improve efficiency, strengthen documentation and scale compliance efforts in real time.
Andera's AI technology has been integrated into RSM's next-generation internal audit platform, helping auditors spend less time on manual testing activities and more time analyzing risks, identifying trends and advising the business. Andera's AI capabilities have been engineered using workflows and methodologies developed by experienced auditors, enabling the platform to review unstructured evidence and generate audit-ready documentation more efficiently.
As audit and AI continue to converge, this alliance marks another step in RSM's broader strategy to bring practical, enterprise-grade AI capabilities to middle market organizations seeking to modernize risk, compliance and internal audit processes.
RSM specializes in pairing deep industry knowledge with innovative technology to deliver insights that increase efficiency, minimize disruption and surface new information for audit teams. This alliance expands RSM's ability to help organizations modernize control testing through AI-enabled automation that accelerates testing, strengthens documentation and allows auditors to focus on higher-value risk analysis. The platform can review evidence, regardless of file type or size, execute directed test steps and generate annotated audit documentation with full traceability back to the source.
Andera's AI capabilities were built by auditors for auditors and designed to pick up on the testing nuances of each company, much in the same way a company would expect a new hire to adapt to a new workplace. These innovations have earned Andera the trust of multiple Fortune 500 companies to test controls across Sarbanes-Oxley, operational audits, Know Your Customer (KYC), Payment Card Industry (PCI), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), cybersecurity and more.
Together, RSM and Andera are helping organizations transform internal audit by enabling broader testing coverage, accelerating audit cycles and allowing audit teams to focus more of their time on risk analysis, strategic insight and business value.
