PCR Automation for SOX Control Testing and Risk Control Matrix
Vero AI's PCR Automation transforms a recorded SOX process walkthrough into four audit-ready drafts—including a Risk & Control Matrix, process narrative, evidence list, and control-tagged swimlane flowchart—automating and significantly accelerating the manual documentation and preparation phase for SOX control testing.
PCR Automation
Your Walkthrough Just Became theControl Matrix, Narrative, and Flowchart.
Vero AI turns a recorded SOX walkthrough into a draft Risk & Control Matrix (RCM), process narrative, evidence list, and control-tagged swimlane flowchart — in minutes, not weeks.

The unaddressed gap
Most teams still build this documentation by hand.
PCR Automation replaces the manual assembly phase that happens before SOX testing even starts.
Before
After PCR Automation
Hours of manual note-taking after every walkthrough
Recorded walkthrough becomes the first draft
RCM built cell-by-cell in spreadsheets
Risk, control, and owner extracted automatically
Narratives rewritten from memory
Process narrative drafted from the transcript
PBC lists guessed at the last minute
Evidence checklist generated per control
Flowcharts drawn by hand in Visio
Control-tagged swimlane flowchart exported ready for review
What it produces
One walkthrough. Four audit-ready drafts.
CORE OUTPUT
Risk & Control Matrix
Risks, controls, owners, and evidence requirements mapped in a structured matrix that maps to your SOX and internal control taxonomy.
CORE OUTPUT
Process Narrative
A plain-language process narrative drafted from the transcript, with control points highlighted for reviewer validation.
CORE OUTPUT
Evidence & PBC List
A prepared-by-client list generated per control, so evidence collection starts with a checklist instead of a blank page.
THE HEADLINE
Swimlane Flowchart
A control-tagged swimlane flowchart showing who does what, where controls sit, and how the process moves across roles — exported as PDF, Visio-compatible, or Lucidchart compatible.

R2 Agentic Walkthrough-To-Assurance Pipeline
Skip to content
Welcome! This is a quick walkthrough of our new feature that turns your process walkthroughs into complete design documentation.
Feed it your source materials, like a walkthrough meeting recording or transcript, plus any policy documentation (if available), and it populates your Risks, Controls, Evidence Requests, Process Narratives, and Flowcharts.

Why teams trust the output
Drafted by AI. Reviewed by you.
01
Transcript-grounded Every control and narrative line ties back to a timestamp in the walkthrough recording.
02
Confidence scored Each extraction is flagged high, medium, or low confidence so reviewers know where to focus first.
03
Human-in-the-loop The engine drafts; your auditor reviews, edits, and approves. Nothing ships without sign-off.
04
Control-aware Outputs are structured around SOX, COSO, and your internal control taxonomy from the start.
05
Version controlled Walkthroughs, drafts, and reviewer edits are versioned for a complete audit trail.
One-click PDF Audit-ready document set in one export.
Visio-compatible Swimlane flowchart as a .vsdx for your existing tooling.
In-platform editing Refine drafts conversationally inside Vero AI.
GRC import ready Control matrix maps to your GRC or workpaper format.
Where this fits
Upstream of testing. Useful any time of year.
Before SOX Testing
PCR Automation produces the documentation set that SOX Testing then evaluates. The controls, narratives, and evidence lists are already drafted — your testing cycle starts with structure instead of blank pages.
During GRC Readiness
The same workflow applies to SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and internal audit walkthroughs. Generate control documentation once and reuse it across frameworks.

FAQ
Questions about PCR Automation
What does PCR Automation produce from a walkthrough?+
A recorded process walkthrough becomes a draft Risk & Control Matrix (RCM), a process narrative, an evidence and PBC checklist, and a control-tagged swimlane flowchart. Each output is timestamped to the source recording and confidence-scored for review.
What input does the engine need?+
A recorded walkthrough — video, transcript, or both — plus any existing control list or framework scope. The engine extracts risks, controls, owners, evidence types, and process steps from the recording and maps them to your taxonomy.
How does the swimlane flowchart export work?+
The flowchart renders as an editable visual inside Vero AI and exports as a Visio-compatible .vsdx or PDF. Each lane corresponds to a role from the walkthrough; control points are tagged inline so reviewers can trace from step to control.
How is this different from Vero AI for SOX Testing?+
PCR Automation sits upstream. It produces the documentation set you need before testing begins — the RCM, narrative, evidence list, and flowchart. SOX Testing then evaluates the actual artifacts against those controls and writes the workpapers.
How accurate is the draft output?+
Accuracy depends on recording quality and process clarity. The engine flags low-confidence extractions and ambiguous mappings so reviewers spend time on judgment, not transcription. Typical first-pass drafts require less reviewer time than building from scratch.
Can we use this outside of SOX?+
Yes. The same workflow applies to any process walkthrough that needs documented controls, narratives, and evidence lists — including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, internal audit, and operational risk reviews.
