Snowflake says AI cut internal audit fieldwork time by 50%

Snowflake says its internal audit team reduced fieldwork time for evidence collection and report production by 50%, moving from months to weeks through AI-assisted workflows. For specific uses, the team also replaced random statistical sampling with testing across the full population of records. Cortex AI Functions extract terms from order documents, while an app checks them against billing and revenue systems. Other tools monitor access exceptions and reconcile payroll reports. Petual.ai drafts audit documentation, reducing turnaround from weeks to hours; auditors review the final output and retain responsibility for conclusions.
