Armanino LLP, a top 20 accounting and consulting firm, continues to revolutionize the SOC 2 assessment process with the integration of bespoke, generative AI updates to Audit Ally™, the firm’s custom-built data compliance assessment tool. Already, Audit Ally’s AI enhancements have reduced evidence submission and approval processes by approximately 50%, saving clients and Armanino professionals significant time. These enhancements reinforce Armanino’s position as a premier provider for SOC 2 assessments.
“At Armanino, we are leading the charge in unlocking the transformative power of AI in the accounting and consulting space,” said Matt Armanino, CEO of Armanino. “Audit Ally is just one example of our team’s commitment to deploying AI in smart ways to truly improve how we service our clients while maintaining the highest standards of quality and security.

Audit Ally, powered by AWS Bedrock and Anthropic Claude 3, now boasts native generative AI capabilities to summarize highly-technical audit notes and translate them into actionable insights for clients, all while keeping the auditor fully in control of the communications. This new feature saves auditors valuable time while effortlessly informing auditees in plain English about the progression of their assessment, missing information or improper documentation, creating a self-contained paper trail within the dashboard. Audit Ally puts client privacy and data security at the forefront as well, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations.
Audit Ally also integrated Intercom’s Fin AI Agent, providing clients with instant responses to questions around their SOC 2 assessment from a trained chatbot. This chatbot can help immediately answer questions around progress, missing items, or alert and connect the client with an Armanino team member for a quick resolution.
“Any auditor can tell you how challenging it is to use compliance-friendly language that clients understand and how much they agonize over time lost trying to translate audit-speak into action items, so that clients and auditors are on the same page,” said AJ Yawn, Partner, Product & Innovation for Armanino. “With generative AI in Audit Ally, translating audit-speak into clear guidance speeds up the process significantly, improving clarity.”
