Why choose Clark
Clark gives audit teams a connected place for the work before, inside, and after the workbook. Firm-approved tasks establish what needs to be done; Ava helps prepare the work; reviewers inspect the supporting evidence and approve it within the engagement’s review process.
How work moves through Clark
Clark’s Excel Add-in lets your team keep its formulas, schedules, and workbook structure. The task pane brings evidence, cell reasoning, review notes, and source-document status beside the sheet. Those details stay connected to the engagement as preparation moves into review.
What Clark brings to your team
Review the cell with its context
Select a cell to inspect its value, Ava’s preparation reasoning, reviewer notes, and source-document status together. Reviewers can attach an available workbook or PDF source and approve in place, keeping the review trail connected as they move through the schedule.
Connect the procedure to the plan
Clark places workbook activity within the engagement’s tasks, workpapers, and review paths. A completed procedure stays connected to the work it supports, so the team can follow its progress through review and approval.
Follow the figure through review
The supporting document is part of the record alongside the work performed, changes, review notes, and approvals. A reviewer can move from the figure to its evidence and understand how the work reached sign-off.
See Clark with your firm's workflow
Bring a representative Excel schedule and its supporting documents to a Clark demo. Follow a selected cell through source review, a reviewer note, and approval, then see where that work sits in the engagement. Use that walkthrough to assess fit with the workbooks and review process your team already uses.
