Audit Confirmation Response Reviewer

During an audit, confirmation replies arrive from banks, customers, vendors, and attorneys — and each one has to be matched to the recorded balance before it counts as evidence. This assistant reads every response as it comes in, pulls the confirming party and confirmed amount, compares it to your books, and classifies each as agreed, an exception, or a non-response. Your team chases real discrepancies instead of re-keying balances.

Category: Finance

How it works

1. A confirmation reply lands — a bank letter, an AR or AP confirmation, or an attorney response — by upload or email.
2. The assistant reads the document, extracts the confirming party and the confirmed balance, and pulls the matching balance from your records.
3. It computes the difference and classifies each reply as agreed, an exception, or a non-response, with the reason noted.
4. Each confirmation is logged as one row, and a follow-up note is drafted for every exception — ready for your review.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Audit Confirmation Response Reviewer match replies to my books?

It reads each confirmation document (bank letter, AR/AP confirmation, attorney response), extracts the confirming party and amount, then pulls the corresponding balance from your records and computes the difference.

Does this assistant automatically send follow-up emails for exceptions?

No, it drafts a follow-up note for each exception, but you review and approve every classification and message before anything is sent.

Which external apps does it connect to?

None — it works entirely within your Gaia workspace, so confirmation documents stay there and no external integrations are needed.

How are confirmation replies classified?

Each reply is classified as agreed, an exception, or a non-response, with the reason noted, so your team can focus on chasing real discrepancies.

Is this free to try?

Gaia offers a free trial; you can test this assistant by uploading or emailing a confirmation reply to see how it extracts and reconciles the data.
