Welcome to Web CAAT

Web CAAT is a powerful, yet easy to use tool which provides over 50 data analytics to simplify the audit process. Web CAAT is browser based, making it easy to use. Web CAAT offers a complete suite of computer aided audit tools (CAATs).  It also helps reduce risk by allowing the testing of 100 percent of the audit data, instead of just a sampling of the data. Web CAAT supports complex and in-depth analysis of financial and accounting records. It is intended  to be as simple and intuitive as possible, and runs completely within a web browser - an environment that every accountant is already familiar with.

Web CAAT  provides time-saving features that help streamline audit processes. The database program is primarily geared toward automating testing functions, with computer-assisted audit techniques and dozens of pre-built tools, guides and reports.  Built-in tests include testing for duplicate payments, transaction statistics, error detection and random sampling. This adds value, especially since many of the tests simply can’t be performed manually, while also reducing errors and improving quality.  The Web CAAT system also helps to standardize audit processes which can be shared and reused.  Using the simple and intuitive interface means that the extensive training requirements are a thing of the past. Web CAAT, being based on open source softare, has few if any processing limitations and has been used on analyses of over 180 million records.

Web CAAT is dedicated to providing data analysis and audit solutions that are as simple and intuitive to use as possible, so they can be used by all, not just IT experts.  The software is open source, and can be freely downloaded.  The software license is LGPL3, which is commercial friendly.

This site has a number of "how to" articles which can serve as a step by step guide for using the analytical review procedures and audit software provided.

The system runs on a web server (Web) and the name derives from the acronym CAAT - computer assisted audit tool, hence "Web CAAT".  The default configuration runs on a dedicated desk top, lap top or external drive and access is restricted to the installed machine only.  However, the system can be configured to share data, e.g. on an intranet and supports collaboration.  If installed on an intranet (or internet) Web CAAT can be accessed using tablets or smart phones. The system leverages the very latest of open source technology and is capable of handling large data volumes (e.g. 180 million records) and running quickly, even on a PC.

Registration for this site is free, quick and easy and enables viewing all of the articles and documents.
