Circit

Circit is an audit confirmation platform that allows auditors to send and receive digitally signed confirmation letters from evidence providers such as banks, law firms, brokerages, invoice discounters, transfer agencies and payment service providers. All parties involved in the audit have access to communicate directly with each other, in a highly secure digital environment, with a full audit trail at every stage.

Circit was founded by a team drawn from financial auditing, banking and computer science and the company's goal is to fully automate how an auditor obtains evidence from third parties, and it has already achieved this with certain providers.

All client engagement documents can be signed within the platform, allowing firms to go paperless and assisting in their GDPR compliance.

Last year, Circit reduced the time its clients spent on audit confirmations by over 25,000 hours, while successfully on-boarding both Big 4 and small audit firms, as they bring the new wave of Fintech to the accountancy profession.
