Join an audit engagement team - before your first engagement.
Audit Simulation places you on a simulated engagement with an engagement ID, a client, a timetable and a reviewer. You complete professional workpapers, submit them for review, respond to review notes and complete your work - the way audit teams actually operate.

Professional audit training
Standards-referenced learning attached to each piece of engagement work.
Simulated engagement execution
Realistic workpapers on a simulated client, performed to firm-style templates.
Engagement management
Tracker, statuses, review notes and a submit-review-complete cycle.
Career readiness
Structured around a target job description and interview preparation.
Audit simulation programmes
Each programme is a complete simulated engagement. Financial Audit is open for enrolment; further programmes are in development.
Financial Audit
SOX 404
Internal Audit
Inventory Audit
Billing Assurance
License to Operate / Compliance Audit
Every simulation follows four engagement stages
The stages are common to all programmes. What happens inside each stage depends on the audit type - a financial statement audit and a SOX 404 engagement do not test in the same way.
Pre-Audit
Acceptance, independence, resourcing, budgeting and agreeing the terms of the engagement.
Planning & Scoping
Understanding the entity, materiality, risk assessment and the overall audit strategy.
Testing
Performing planned procedures, gathering evidence and evaluating results.
Reporting
Completion, evaluation of findings and reporting to stakeholders.
The platform manages the engagement
Learning, instructions, workflow, status, submission, review, review notes, progress and module completion.
Google Workspace will hold the audit file
Workpapers, schedules, supporting documents and evidence - as they would sit in a firm's audit file. (Integration planned for a later phase.)
How a professional workpaper is built
You are taught the structure, shown a worked example, occasionally asked to build from scratch, and use professional templates for most engagement work.
From programme to placement readiness
The full candidate journey is shown below. Interview, CV review and assessment stages will be introduced in later releases.
