CAPEX

The AI audit engine for Indian CA firms.

Backed by

Scaler Innovation Lab

For Chartered Accountants

From accounting file
to a locked audit pack.

CAPEX takes a Tally or GL export through ten traceable stages. Every transaction is checked, not a sample, and the result is a ranked, explainable review queue. Your judgement stays with the work that matters.

  1. 01

    Accounting file

    Tally XML, Tally HTTP, GL XLSX, opening baseline, Zoho/SAP CSV, bank and challans.

  2. 02

    Parse & validate

    Every batch is fingerprinted, versioned and checked for coverage before it is used.

  3. 03

    Canonical journal

    One source-agnostic schema: entries, lines, ledgers, checkpoints and trial balance.

  4. 04

    Readiness & lineage

    Nine checks decide whether the dataset is fit to audit, with full lineage to source.

  5. 05

    Deterministic scrutiny

    Plain-code rule packs. Same input, same output, with every rule version recorded.

  6. 06

    Findings & exceptions

    Ranked by severity and money, each with a rule, a reason and a source reference.

  7. 07

    Evidence & review

    Requests, uploads and reviewer decisions, each linked back to the finding.

  8. 08

    Analytics & reconciliations

    Schedule III, ageing and trends. GST 2B, TDS, PF, PT, ESI and bank matching.

  9. 09

    Workpapers

    Typed workpapers moving from draft through manager and partner review.

  10. 10

    Partner-approved audit pack

    Blocking items cleared, opinion authored, then approved, issued and locked.

Data privacy • Security

Your clients' books
stay your clients' books.

CAPEX is built for work under professional confidentiality. It reads what it needs, changes nothing at source, and records how every number got there.

Tally connector

Read-only by design.

The connector only ever asks Tally to export. It never sends a request that could import, alter, create or delete a voucher.

01

No AI model sees the books

Every check is plain, deterministic code. Client data is never sent to an LLM or ML service, so the same input always gives the same output.

02

Each firm is sealed off

Data is isolated per organisation. A request for another firm's engagement, evidence or pack returns nothing.

03

Access follows the engagement team

Admin, partner, manager, preparer and client roles. Sign-off and pack issue stay partner-only.

04

A trail you can defend

Every import is SHA-256 fingerprinted with its parser version. Locked audit packs carry a hashed manifest of their contents.

05

Evidence is never overwritten

Every client upload is kept as an immutable version. A resubmission adds a new one beside it, and the activity log never copies document contents or credentials.

The responsibility statement

The tool flags.
The CA decides.

CAPEX is being built to surface patterns, exceptions, and missing context. It does not replace professional judgement, sign-off, or the responsibility of the Chartered Accountant.

Pilot programme • November 2026

Help shape the
review layer.

We are preparing a small group of CA practices for pilots beginning November 2026. Leave your details and we will share the pilot scope as it takes shape.

We’ll only use these details to follow up about the CAPEX pilot.
