Catch evidence issues earlier in the audit

Collecting evidence is only part of audit preparation. Your team still needs to confirm that each submission answers the request, contains the right information, and covers the correct audit period.

First Pass adds an automated review directly into that process. It analyzes evidence before submission and flags potential problems that commonly lead to auditor follow-up, including missing information, discrepancies, outdated documents, and incorrect time periods.

Your team gets useful feedback while there’s still time to make a correction, helping you send stronger evidence to your auditor from the start.

Spend less time on manual evidence QA

Preparing evidence for an audit can mean reviewing files, screenshots, dates, and supporting documentation one request at a time. First Pass handles that initial quality check in seconds, giving your team a clearer place to focus its attention.

That means less time manually checking evidence that’s already in good shape and earlier visibility into submissions that may need more work.

The first message, from a man with short dark hair in an orange circle, says they reviewed ER-118 but the evidence only covers September and states the needed review period is July 1 to September 30. This message has a document icon with an error symbol and a black button labeled Replace. The second message, from a woman with long brown hair in a green circle, thanks for flagging, says the report was updated to include July 1 to September 30, and has a document icon with text 'Submitted to Auditor' and 'Uploaded 10:45 by Sarah N.'

Reduce unnecessary audit back-and-forth

When evidence problems aren’t identified until auditor review, teams can end up responding to secondary requests, finding replacement documentation, and waiting through another review cycle.

First Pass moves that feedback earlier. By checking evidence before submission, your team can address common issues sooner and give auditors better-prepared documentation to review. Thoropass has estimated that First Pass can reduce manual QA time by up to 95% and secondary auditor requests by up to 80%.

AI and auditors working in the same audit process

First Pass is built into the Thoropass audit experience alongside automated evidence collection and Thoropass auditors.

AI handles repetitive evidence checks that can be completed quickly and consistently. Auditors can spend more of their time applying professional judgment, reviewing context, and working through the questions that require human expertise.

Your team gets faster feedback on evidence while still working with an experienced audit partner from preparation through the final audit.
