AuditBot review
A focused Excel plug-in for automating repetitive audit fieldwork and preserving evidence trails.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AuditBot is a desktop Excel plug-in for UK accounting firms conducting substantive audit testing. It works within existing Excel-based workpapers and supports sampling, document extraction, matching, audit and accounting formulas, workbook checks, analytical review, and source-linked evidence. The product is aimed at firms that want to automate repetitive fieldwork while keeping professional judgement and approval with the auditor.
Pricing is quoted per firm, so the buying process is sales-led rather than self-serve. AuditBot’s central platform fit is Microsoft Excel, with Companies House also listed as an integration. Its workpaper and firm-defined test templates support repeatable processes, while client records can hold materiality and reporting-period information. The published feature set also includes extraction of text and tables into Excel cells, matching invoices and supporting documents against ledgers and workbook tables, and checks for formulas, wording, and spelling across workbooks.
AuditBot’s strongest case is for Excel-centric teams that need a concentrated set of audit testing tools rather than a broad workflow environment. Selectable sampling methods, analytical review of current- and prior-year figures, immutable audit trails, and links back to source evidence give the fieldwork a structured record. However, the product does not provide review workflows or client collaboration, which may limit its fit for firms seeking a shared process around approvals and external communication. Choose AuditBot when Excel-based substantive testing is the priority; consider an alternative when review coordination and client-facing collaboration are central requirements.
