About This Automation

Audit preparation requires gathering scattered documents, indexing them, and routing them through privilege review before delivery to an auditor. Manual searching across shared drives and back-and-forth approvals often stretch a single request over several days.

An automated version scans shared drives for relevant files, builds the document index, and routes the reviewed package for sign-off automatically. This shortens turnaround from days to hours and reduces the risk of missed or misfiled documents.

Key features
Scan shared drives automatically for files matching the audit scope
Organize located files into a dedicated audit folder without manual copying
Draft a document index listing source and relevance for each file
Route reviewed packages for internal sign-off without manual follow-up
Compile and deliver the approved package once sign-off is confirmed
Track deadlines and status of each audit request in one place

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Audit Request Receivedtrigger

An audit or compliance request lands in the shared inbox and starts the workflow automatically.

2. Collects And Indexes Documents

The automation scans the drive for matching files, organizes them into an audit folder, and drafts the document index.

3. Attorney Reviews Flagged Documents

Any files the automation flags as potentially privileged are routed to an attorney for manual review before proceeding.

4. Route For Sign Off

The reviewed package is posted to the compliance lead's channel for final approval.

5. Package And Send To Auditor

Once approved, the finished package is compiled and sent securely to the requesting auditor.
