Auditi vs Dracoon

Dracoon is where evidence lands. Not how it gets there

Dracoon is a capable platform for securely storing files, but it wasn't purpose-built to run the client-facing side of an audit. Auditi brings PBC requests, confirmations and project management into one workspace built specifically for audit firms and their clients.

The difference

A client engagement needs more than file sharing

Secure file exchange platforms are built for one job, and they do it well. Judged as the place your client engagement runs, the gaps start to show. The question isn't whether your files are secure. It's whether the platform can handle the full workflow of a client engagement.

  • File exchange without PBC context

    Data rooms organise work around folders. Audit teams need each document to arrive as the answer to a request, not as a standalone file.

  • Not built for a client engagement

    A client engagement requires shared tasks, responsibilities, messages and progress that the firm and client can see and act on.

  • No workflow for audit confirmations

    Audit teams need to send, track, match and document responses from banks and other third parties, not just exchange the resulting files.

The problem

Your workflow runs from a spreadsheet and an inbox

An audit needs a specialised workflow with every file tied to a request. Without one, every gap becomes tasks your team has to fill. PBC requests go out ad hoc. Files land in a folder, questions sit in emails or file comments, and the PBC list that ties them together lives in a spreadsheet. Repeat that across every client engagement, and it's a season's worth of admin.

Your clients' experience becomes your firm's reputation

  • No clear overview of the engagement

    Status lives in a spreadsheet, files live in a folder, and answering "where are we?" means reconciling both.

  • A frustrating client experience

    Clients upload into a folder with no sense of what's been accepted, what's outstanding, or what's next.

  • The audit takes far longer

    Every reconciliation, repeated request, reminder and unanswered question adds days to the engagement.
