London & Johannesburg – 29.01.2026-the Audit Toolbar announces the Pro version of its’ already successful product that is used by thousands of users in over 400 accounting and audit firms in 20+ countries, delivering powerful efficiency and productivity gains across multiple audit workflows.
In addition to the Audit Toolbar Essential, that already delivers significant optimisation and standardisation benefits to auditors in Data Management, Sampling, Analytics, Document Management and Review work, the Audit Toolbar Pro now includes additional innovative and very significant features to deliver true audit innovation.
UniCleaner – the world’s first automated and unified data cleaning function that will clean, structure and organise any general ledger extract from any accounting software platform and is available on both editions of the Audit Toolbar as a core function.
Auditors who have historically wasted their valuable time grinding through messy datasets can now raise their game with the Audit Toolbar’s proprietary “click and go” technology that transforms any general ledger from any accounting platform in just a few seconds.
Journal Entry Testing System (J.E.T.S) – an automated workflow that produces a risk-weighted journal entry report by ranking higher-risk transactions in a single procedure.
Across the multitude of transaction tests that are available, most journal entry tests are performed singularly and in isolation and often lead to “rabbit hole” analytics and insufficient outcomes. J.E.T.S enables an auditor to use their professional judgement more effectively and efficiently identify and visualise risky data patterns, elevate fraud testing, and drive deeper audit insights across full datasets using multiple analytical touchpoints simultaneously.
ValiData - an evidence-based matching function that uses proprietary “Search and Switch” technology to retrieve and convert source PDF’s and automatically match and verify them against sampled or tested Excel data.
The historic approach to matching and verifying evidence to source documentation in audit has for a long time, been a painstaking and long-winded manual process. ValiData can reduce up to 90% of the time spent by audit teams on the manual verification process and at the same time, reduce the risk of human error through our intelligent automation functionality, that retrieves, converts, matches and reports data in a single workflow.
In addition to delivering the world’s first truly automated and unified data cleaning function with UniCleaner, the combination of these three next level audit automation functions, has created a product in Audit Toolbar Pro that delivers significant audit capabilities to audit teams of any size. The incredible value that is created with the Audit Toolbar, delivers immediate and measurable returns in time, performance and investment.
Commenting on the significance of this latest technology advancement at the Audit Toolbar, Christiaan Coetzee, CEO said,
“by working directly with our clients and using their first-hand insights and experience in audit fieldwork, we have created the ultimate in Excel based, feature-rich functionality for auditors. I am truly delighted to be able to bring this next level functionality in audit automation to the wider market. Until now, tools such as Audit Toolbar Pro have been expensive and out of reach for many firms and this exciting development is a step closer in our mission of being the world’s most essential audit accessory”.
Tumi Letsoalo, Head of Client Success at the Audit Toolbar also commented:
“I just love that we now have such incredible technology capabilities that we’ve made available to audit teams in any size of firm. As an auditor myself, I am inspired for the thousands of auditors out there that can now focus on the truly important aspects of their audit work and reduce the burden of being dragged down by audit grind and manual procedures; this is true quality of life functionality!”
