How Run Audit Is Built for What the FRC Requires.](https://runaudit.ai/automate-the-grind-preserve-the-judgement-how-run-audit-is-built-for-what-the-frc-requires/): By Donal Kerr, CEO, Run Audit In Part 1 of this series, I walked through the Financial Reporting Council’s landmark guidance on generative and agentic AI in audit — the first document of its kind from any audit regulator globally. The core message was straightforward: AI can enhance audit quality significantly, but the accountability stays with people. The technology changes. The regulatory framework does not. Now I want to be concrete about what that means in practice. Because the FRC’s guidance isn’t abstract — it’s a framework of specific risks and specific mitigations. And if you’re building an AI tool […] - [The AICPA Has Looked at SOC Tool Provider Contracts. What It Found Should Alarm Everyone.](https://runaudit.ai/the-aicpa-has-looked-at-soc-tool-provider-contracts-what-it-found-should-alarm-everyone/): By Donal Kerr, CEO, Run Audit I recently wrote about what happens when you build a company on the promise of shortcuts. I was writing in the context of a specific scandal — a well-funded AI startup accused of generating hundreds of nearly identical audit reports before anyone had looked at the underlying organisations — but my point was about a pattern, not just one company. Fake compliance didn’t arrive with AI. AI just made it possible to industrialise it. In April 2026, the AICPA Professional Ethics Division published a piece that names the same pattern in precise professional language. […] - [The FRC Just Published the First Global Rulebook for AI in Audit. Here's What It Actually Says.](https://runaudit.ai/the-frc-just-published-the-first-global-rulebook-for-ai-in-audit-heres-what-it-actually-says/): By Donal Kerr, CEO, Run Audit In March 2026, the Financial Reporting Council published something that has no precedent anywhere in the world: formal guidance for audit firms on the use of generative and agentic AI in audit engagements. It’s the first document of its kind from any audit regulator globally, and if you work in IT audit, GRC, or audit technology, it deserves your full attention. Not because it’s prescriptive — it deliberately isn’t. Not because it threatens sanctions for firms that get it wrong — at least not directly. But because it articulates, clearly and authoritatively, the framework […] - [Fake Compliance Isn't an AI Problem. It's an Ethics Problem](https://runaudit.ai/fake-compliance-isnt-an-ai-problem-its-an-ethics-problem/): Something remarkable happened in the compliance technology and audit world last month. A well-funded, well-regarded AI startup — Y Combinator-backed, valued in the hundreds of millions — found itself accused of generating nearly 500 audit reports that were, allegedly, 99.8% identical. Same paragraphs. Same grammar mistakes. Different logos. All signed off by the same auditing firm. If the allegations hold up, this wasn’t a software glitch. It was a business model. This is not evidence that modern software and technology has no place in audit. It’s evidence of something much older and much simpler: that when you build a company […] - [Listening for the Truth: The Ancient Roots of Audit](https://runaudit.ai/listening-for-the-truth-the-ancient-roots-of-audit/): How the language of our profession still carries the echo of Athenian assemblies and the Roman Forum. Before there were working papers, control frameworks, or sampling methodologies, there was a room, a magistrate, and a witness with a sharp ear. The vocabulary of modern audit still carries the fingerprints of that room. The word audit is not a metaphor borrowed from finance; it is a literal description of what the earliest auditors actually did. They listened. Audire: to hear The English word audit arrived in the early fifteenth century from the Latin auditus, meaning a hearing or a listening. Auditus […] - [A Manifesto for the AI Era of Audit](https://runaudit.ai/a-manifesto-for-the-ai-era-of-audit/): Audit Is Broken. Everyone Knows It. Nobody Fixed It. Audit sits at the heart of corporate trust. It is how companies prove they are telling the truth — about their systems, their data, their risk. It matters enormously. And yet the practice itself is a scandal of inefficiency. In a world where companies generate billions of data points daily, auditors are still working from samples. In a world of continuous cyber threats, audits still happen periodically — a snapshot of a system that never stops moving. In a world of AI, compliance work can consume nearly half a working week […] ## Pages - [Blog](https://runaudit.ai/blog/): Home Blog Blogs and Insight edit post A Manifesto for the AI Era of Audit March 4, 2026 edit post AI SEO vs Traditional SEO What Every Business Needs to Know February 27, 2026 edit post Why Your Website Is Invisible in ChatGPT And How to Fix It February 27, 2026 edit post The Future of Search Is AI Visibility Not Google Rankings February 27, 2026 - [Contact Us](https://runaudit.ai/contact-us/): Home Contact Get in touch Corporate CRO: 774953 VAT: IE4392802RH HQ Dogpatch Labs, Dublin, Ireland.
