Make an audit binder

Gather your evidence, number every page, and lock it into one audit binder.

The problem

  • Audit evidence is a sprawl of scans, exports and emails with no consistent reference.
  • Auditors need every page numbered and searchable to cite findings.
  • The completed binder must be tamper-evident and archived for years.

The workflow

One licensed pipeline chains these steps end to end. Each step is a tool you can try free on the public site.

  4. 4

    Lock for archive

    Protect PDF

    Protect the finished binder against changes.

Every tool in this workflow is free on the public site — no signup, nothing uploaded. Run the steps by hand to see the output, then license the automated pipeline for your team.

Why run it on-premise?

Audit working papers contain confidential financials subject to multi-year retention. Building the binder on-premise keeps that evidence inside the organisation and produces a numbered, locked, archivable record.

The Business suite ships as a self-hosted bundle that runs inside your own network, so the documents in this workflow never leave the building. See how deployment works.

Outcome

A searchable, numbered, tamper-evident audit binder put together without uploading evidence.

Included in the Business license.
