The best option is usually an electronic confirmation platform built specifically for audits, with built-in controls, audit trail, and secure recipient validation.
Top choices
-
Confirmation.com (now part of Thomson Reuters)
- Widely used in audit firms
- Strong for bank confirmations and lawyer/attorney letter responses
- Good audit trail, secure routing, and standardized workflows
-
PwC-confirmation / similar enterprise audit confirmation tools
- Best if your firm already uses an integrated audit suite
- Strong governance and workflow controls, but more enterprise-dependent
-
Caseware Confirm / Inflo / other audit workflow platforms with confirmation modules
- Good if you want confirmations integrated with broader fieldwork and workpapers
- Often easier for smaller/mid-size firms than a standalone enterprise tool
For most firms
If your priority is sending, tracking, and defensibly documenting bank and attorney responses, Confirmation.com is generally the most recognized and purpose-built choice.
What to look for
- Secure recipient authentication
- End-to-end audit trail
- Status tracking and reminders
- Support for both bank confirmations and legal/attorney letters
- Evidence retention and export to workpapers
- Compliance with audit standards and independence safeguards
