The Story Behind Skeptics.ai

Skeptics.ai was born out of a simple, undeniable truth: the traditional way of executing corporate governance is broken.

Our founder, Neha Agarwal, spent over 30 years in the internal audit and accounting profession—leading teams across Big 4 firms and high-growth technology enterprise giants. Year after year, cycle after cycle, she watched her brilliant teams spend thousands of hours buried in manual grunt work: copying data, pulling random samples, chasing control owners, and drafting repetitive documentation.

It didn't make sense anymore. As technology advanced, Neha saw the immense potential for Artificial Intelligence to transform financial compliance. Yet, she noticed a frustrating gap—legacy enterprises and internal audit departments were simply not adopting AI technology fast enough.

Instead of waiting for the industry to catch up, Neha decided to build the solution herself.

Backed by a powerful network of industry advisors, veteran auditors, and technical innovators, Neha embarked on an audit transformation journey. Today, Skeptics.ai is a fully realized, end-to-end compliance platform built by auditors, for auditors, designed to permanently revolutionize the world of SOX compliance.

Why “Skeptics”?

In the audit profession, professional skepticism is our greatest asset. For over 30 years, Neha has approached every audit with this exact mindset—a disciplined, questioning lens that has consistently helped her companies and clients protect their assets, uncover blind spots, and mitigate critical enterprise risks. We named our company Skeptics.ai because we know that finance and compliance leaders share that same natural skepticism.

We didn't build a black box. We built an ironclad, transparent compliance engine designed to withstand the highest levels of scrutiny from your management, your board, and your external auditors. We welcome the skepticism—because our platform is built to prove it right every single time.
