A First for COR Auditing: AuditSoft Launches AI Assistant
The AuditSoft AI Assistant drafts audit findings in seconds, while keeping professional judgment where it belongs, with the auditor.
CALGARY, Alberta, August 24, 2026--AuditSoft, the industry leader in digital audit and compliance software, has announced the launch of the AuditSoft AI Assistant, the first tool of its kind built specifically to enhance Certificate of Recognition (COR) auditing. The Assistant helps auditors produce professionally-written findings faster, while staying in full control of the audit.
COR auditing has long carried an administrative burden. Once the evidence is gathered and the scoring is done, findings still have to be written up clearly, consistently, and in line with each certifying body's and safety association's requirements. That writing is time-consuming, pulling focus that could otherwise go to evaluating evidence and assessing risk.
Auditors are already using AI, often turning to general-purpose AI chatbots outside the audit workflow to help draft findings. This can result in sensitive workplace information being entered into tools that were not designed, approved, or configured for COR auditing. The AuditSoft AI Assistant was built to solve that, giving auditors the tools they need without putting data at risk. Information processed by the Assistant stays secure within the AuditSoft environment, is never used to train AI models, and is never retained after processing.
Unlike general-purpose AI chatbots the AI Assistant drafts findings only from the auditor's own inputs: their answers, collected evidence, scoring methodology, and the requirements of their certifying body or safety association. Where those inputs appear incomplete or insufficient to support a finding, the Assistant can flag the gap and prompt the auditor to review what may still need to be addressed. It does not gather, create, or manufacture evidence. The auditor then reviews, edits, and approves every finding before it becomes part of the record. Nothing is finalized without the auditor's sign-off. It's AuditSoft's guiding principle of human-in-the-loop AI: AI recommends. Auditor decides.
"AI should support professional judgment, not replace it," said Ben Snyman, CEO of AuditSoft. "The value of a COR audit is in the work behind it. Gathering and weighing the evidence, identifying gaps, and supporting continuous improvement to protect people. The writing shouldn't take away from that. The AI Assistant handles the drafting so auditors can stay focused on applying their expertise to keep workplaces safe."
