# How can a finance, compliance or operations team use AI to gather and organize evidence for an audit without a last-minute scramble?

Start with the auditor’s request list or the controls you are tested on, and name an owner for each item. AI matches each request to the documents, reports and records already held in shared drives and systems, checks that each item covers the right period, is signed or approved where needed and is complete, and lists what is missing or out of date. Owners review the matches, supply any gaps and confirm each item is the right one before it is shared, and nothing is sent to auditors without that sign-off.

## What this means in practice

- Start with the request list or the controls being tested.
- Name an owner for each item.
- Match requests to existing documents and records.
- Check period, approvals and completeness and list gaps.
- Have owners confirm every item before it goes to auditors.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
