Business Highlights
Strategy
Mindbridge Ai leverages AI and machine learning technology to target three customer segments:
- Accounting Firms – MindBridge leverages AI and machine learning that could supplement the analysis of CPA’s to uncover mistakes with better accuracy.
- Internal Auditing – MindBridge can provide file ingestion or audit plans in seconds to confidently prepare internal audits.
- Financial Services – MindBridge identifies risk market, regulatory and operational risk and provides risk-weighted analysis on transactions for banking and capital markets, insurance, payments, and investment management firms.
Products/Pricing
AI Auditor: The AI auditor is the world’s first AI powered auditing tool. Auditing requires the preparation of enormous volumes of data and because of the limitations of existing tools, data analysis is sampled. This traditional process is very prone to missing error. The AI Auditor ingests large amounts of file, runs thorough analysis on 100% of the data and provides risk-weighted scores for all transactions to improve detection effectiveness.
Technology
Mindbridge Ai leverages AI technology to vigorously analyze data for errors and uses machine learning algorithms to identify outliers to better train their error prediction. The nature of their AI platforms allows risks to be identified in seconds and provides visual representations so that the data can be explored by a professional on a micro level. Because their platform can handle extremely large sets of data, rather than analyzing samples as in traditional audits, MindBridge’s platform enables 100% data analysis.
Distribution/Logistics
Mindbridge Ai has 125 customers in 6 different countries.
Competitors
When looking exclusively at competitors that leverage AI or machine learning to perform audits, there are no prominent competitors. However, many established auditing firms are looking to incorporate AI technologies within their existing auditing practices to streamline the process. Additionally, there are many other computer aided audit tools (CAAT) that are currently used in industry.
