Cortea’s €12M seed brings AI quality agents into audit workflows
Cortea’s €12 million seed round highlights how audit firms are adopting AI quality agents to improve review workflows, consistency and professional oversight.
Audit is a trust business, so AI adoption has to be careful. Cortea’s funding shows how startups are building AI tools around quality and oversight, not just speed.
What happened
Cortea raised a €12 million seed round to build AI quality agents for audit firms. The company is targeting audit review workflows, helping firms use AI while maintaining consistency, control and professional judgement.
Why it matters
Audit work is document-heavy, repetitive and highly regulated. AI can help review information faster, but firms also need safeguards that preserve trust, accuracy and accountability.
The bigger picture
Enterprise Software is moving into regulated professional workflows. The most useful AI tools may be those that help expert teams work faster while keeping quality, governance and oversight at the centre.
