CORAA University · AI Lab

Hands-on AI for audit.

A free practice ground for Indian CAs to learn AI tools used in audit. Practical guides, a prompt library built for the work you actually do, tool walkthroughs, and a synthetic SME you can poke around in. No certification, no paywall — just useful.

What’s in the Lab

Five spaces, all audit-specific.

Each section is designed around how a practising CA actually works — engagement risk, sampling, vouching, CARO drafting, review notes, working-paper documentation. Not generic “AI for finance” content.

What this is, and isn’t

A learning ground, not a credential.

What we are

A free practice environment built by an audit-software team
Audit-specific content — Indian SA / Ind AS / Companies Act context
Hands-on labs and a prompt library you can copy and adapt
An onramp to the AI tools the rest of the profession is already using

What we aren’t

A certification body — only ICAI confers audit credentials in India
A CPE-hour issuer — refer to your ICAI Regional Council for structured CPE
A substitute for ICAI’s official AI programmes (AICA Level 1, AURA)
A place to upload real client data — everything here uses synthetic examples

Note on scope

CORAA AI Lab is a free practice environment built by CORAA. It is not a certification, not a substitute for any qualification issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), and does not award structured CPE hours. ICAI’s official AI programmes — including AICA Level 1 and AURA — remain the authoritative credentials for AI competency in audit. We recommend using the Lab alongside or in preparation for ICAI’s programmes.

For real client data — built differently

CORAA is the AI engine built for Indian audit — India-hosted, DPDPA 2023 compliant, no training reuse.

Seven hubs covering the whole engagement: Setup → Scrutiny → Reconciliation → Procedures → Working Papers → Findings → Reporting. 164 scrutiny rules across 13 modules. SA 230, 240, 320, 450, 510, 530, 570, 700 baked into the workflow.

India-hosted

Every byte on Indian soil. Azure India regions for all production workloads.

DPDPA 2023 compliant

Data-fiduciary obligations built in by default. Not bolted on after the fact.

ISO 27001:2022 · SOC 2 Type II

Certified and attested. The security baselines enterprise audit committees actually ask for.

No training reuse

Client data never enters any foundation model. Contractual, not aspirational.
