Fieldguide Launches AI-Powered Audit Testing Agent to Transform Financial Audits
Fieldguide, the AI-first platform for audit and advisory firms, has officially launched Field Agents for Financial Audit, a suite of enterprise-grade tools headlined by the Audit Testing Agent—a purpose-built automation tool for one of auditing’s most labor-intensive phases: testing.
This release comes at a critical inflection point for the profession, as mounting audit demand meets an accelerating talent shortage. Between 2016 and 2023, the number of CPA exam candidates dropped 37%, and undergraduate accounting enrollment declined more than 20% since 2018, according to the AICPA.
“We’re providing agentic AI that automates the most labor-intensive aspects of audit testing, enabling firms to execute high quality audits, faster,”
— Jin Chang, CEO & Co-founder, Fieldguide
