AI agent for auditors
Underwriting Guideline Adherence Audit Agent
An evidence-based audit of guideline adherence with trends
What it does
Underwriting audits find out whether guidelines are actually followed, but reading files by hand limits how many get checked. Each month this agent audits a sample of bound policies. It reads the underwriting file and checks it against the guidelines: required information, eligible classes, limits, pricing within the rating range, and approvals for exceptions. Missing information is a finding; binding above authority without approval is a serious finding. Before reporting, it confirms each finding by re-reading the file, searching attachments and notes, because documents are often stored in different places. It then keeps or drops the finding. It writes the audit report by underwriter and theme. Managers approve findings and agree corrective actions; the agent never contacts underwriters about results. Edge case: an exception was approved by email rather than in the system, so the agent finds it in attachments before calling it missing.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
