Caseware, the leading AI platform for assurance and financial reporting, today launched its Verity-powered Risk Suggestion Agent worldwide, helping auditors use engagement data and supporting documents to develop a stronger starting point for risk assessment.
asserted
auditors → lead → assessment
Announced at CwX London 2026 at County Hall, the agent draws on current and prior-year financial information, existing risks, controls and selected documents to suggest engagement-specific risks for auditors to review.
asserted
auditors → announce → risks
It is included at no additional cost within a firm’s existing Caseware Verity licence.
asserted
It → include → licence
Caseware also announced the UK availability of its Disclosure Checklist Agent, which drafts checklist responses from financial statements and provides supporting reasoning and source citations.
asserted
which → announce → reasoning
The UK launch marks a significant expansion of Caseware’s offering in one of its key markets.
asserted
launch → mark → markets
The launches advance Caseware’s goal of automating the repetitive, time-consuming parts of the assurance and financial workflow, freeing auditors to spend their time on judgment and insight only they can provide.
asserted
they → advance → judgment
That ambition is based on a detailed mapping of repetitive tasks across the engagement lifecycle - covering the Prepare, Plan, Evaluate and Report Agent Suites that support it.
asserted
that → base → it
Risk Suggestion Agent
Caseware Verity’s Risk Suggestion Agent gives audit teams an AI-assisted, faster, more considered starting point for engagement risk assessment, without ever taking the decision out of their hands.
asserted
Agent → give → hands
Rather than beginning each engagement’s risk assessment from a blank page, auditors can now gain access to a considered set of risks grounded in the engagement’s own context.
asserted
auditors → begin → context
The result is a meaningful reduction in the time and effort required to produce a strong first draft, allowing audit teams to direct more of their attention toward the professional judgment that risk assessment ultimately depends on.
asserted
assessment → require → that
That judgment remains squarely with the auditor throughout: every suggestion Verity produces is a draft for independent review, and none can be accepted, edited, or incorporated into the engagement without an explicit decision by the practitioner.
The feature reflects the same governance standard applied across the Verity platform - operating entirely within a firm’s own Caseware environment, with engagement data never used to train AI models.
asserted
data → remain → models
Tricia Katebini, Partner in GRF CPAs & Advisors said, “Risk assessment is one of the most important parts of an engagement, and it can also be incredibly time-consuming.
asserted
it → say → engagement
Caseware’s Risk Suggestion Agent gives our teams a strong starting point, helping us identify and consider relevant risks more efficiently while keeping professional judgment at the center of the process.
asserted
us → give → process
That time savings allows us to spend more time on the testing, follow-up, and deeper analysis of the risks we identify.”
Disclosure Checklist Agent
asserted
we → allow → Agent
Now available to UK firms, the Disclosure Checklist Agent works inside the Caseware engagement to read a firm’s financial statements and draft Yes, No and N/A responses to disclosure checklist questions.
asserted
Agent → work → questions
Each suggestion includes reasoning and cited source evidence for review.
asserted
suggestion → include → review
The agent also scopes the checklist by analysing the financials to flag which sections apply, so teams only work through relevant questions.
asserted
teams → scope → questions
Auditors review, refine, accept or override every suggestion directly within the workflow, and firms choose whether to retain the full AI reasoning and citations or approved answers only.
asserted
firms → review → reasoning
In testing, the agent’s run time on a typical disclosure checklist has fallen from around 18 minutes to approximately two to three minutes.
asserted
time → fall → minutes
Manual checklist completion typically takes several hours; auditors still review the agent’s suggested responses before accepting them.
uncertain
auditors → take → them
Today’s launch marks the first time the Disclosure Checklist Agent has been made available outside the US.
asserted
Agent → mark → US
