Case Study - 60% faster production - Automating audits

Overview

ABL Risk and MABL Risk Management provide expert audit, assurance and consultancy services across the invoice financing and asset-based lending sector. With a reputation built on rigour, trust and domain expertise, they are a go-to provider for lenders seeking reliable borrower analysis and risk oversight. As the lending market faces increasing pressure to scale, digitise and respond to real-time borrower data, ABL Risk and MABL have partnered with Novecom to explore how AI and automation can enable the next generation of audit and assurance capability.

Our work together is focused on prototyping AI-driven tools that automate core audit checks, enhance borrower data analysis, and flag anomalies or risk indicators in near real-time. Working in close collaboration with experienced auditors, our approach maintains domain integrity while unlocking the efficiencies and insight offered by modern technology. Early prototypes include language model-assisted audit commentary, automated financial ratio scanning, and borrower risk profiling based on enriched third-party data.

This is a strategic partnership aimed at reimagining the future of ABL audits — reducing manual effort, increasing audit consistency, and ultimately providing lenders with faster, smarter, and more scalable assurance solutions. Our phased development approach means outputs can be validated in live scenarios and continuously refined to meet real-world auditor and lender needs.
