3. Document Management: Management and archiving of digital documents and records to support the audit process.
4. Analysis Tools: Provision of analysis tools and dashboards to visualize audit data and results.

6. Communication Platform: Providing a secure platform for communication between auditors and audited companies, as well as for transmitting audit findings and documentation.
7. Compliance Monitoring: Monitoring of compliance and tax regulations, as well as automatic notifications of changes or new requirements.
