Introducing Verity—Market release

Verity is Caseware Cloud's AI intelligence layer, built directly into the engagement workflow rather than alongside it. When you ask a question, Verity reasons simultaneously across your live engagement context — identified risks and controls, materiality thresholds, uploaded documents, checklist responses, and financial statement data — alongside your firm's methodology and authoritative professional standards, including the AICPA Online Professional Library for US users in specific solutions. The result is guidance calibrated to your actual situation, not a generic answer that requires you to re-explain your client.

Every response is fully cited: you can trace each finding back to the specific standard, firm guidance document, or engagement evidence that informed it.

Verity handles the full range of engagement questions: interpreting a standard in the context of your client's risk profile, reviewing a completed checklist for inconsistencies against uploaded workpapers and trial balance data, identifying undocumented risks, analyzing financial statement fluctuations, or surfacing what your firm's methodology requires for a specific procedure. For multi-step questions, Verity plans its own retrieval — calling the right sources in sequence — rather than relying on a single pass.

Verity is rolling out to Caseware Cloud firms

Verity is available to Caseware Cloud firms. Firm administrators enable access for individual users through Settings. To request access to Verity, contact your Caseware account manager. For setup instructions, see Get started with Verity — Firm administrator.

Verity is the next generation of Caseware AiDA. AiDA remains available during the transition period; firms will be upgraded to Verity on a rolling basis. AiDA will be deprecated once the transition is complete.

Engagement-grounded Q&A

Verity answers questions grounded in your live engagement context. When you ask a question, Verity reads your engagement data in real time and draws from multiple sources simultaneously: your live engagement data, your firm's knowledge bases, and Caseware-published knowledge bases such as AICPA authoritative standards for US engagements in solutions where available.

Ask questions about risks, materiality, checklists, financials, adjustments, issues, engagement properties, and uploaded PDFs
Get answers grounded in your firm's methodology and authoritative standards
Receive cited responses that link directly to the source data behind each answer

GA scope

Verity is read-only at GA, May 2026. Verity can access and reason over your engagement data but does not make changes to checklists, risks, financial statements or any other engagement content.

AICPA authoritative standards are available in some US solutions. For other products, Verity draws from your firm's knowledge bases if your firm has uploaded relevant guidance.
