About the Company

Cortea AI

AI quality layer for audit firms

Cortea AI builds an AI quality layer for audit firms that sits alongside existing systems to improve audit reliability. Its Audit Quality Agents automatically review audit reports, financial statements, disclosure notes, and workpapers, then cross-checks figures and supporting documents to flag inconsistencies and filing issues. Auditors stay in control and use Cortea’s checks to confirm sign-off, rather than replacing human judgment. The platform integrates with current audit workflows to boost quality and capacity, supporting expansion in the UK, Germany, and the US.
