Berlin, 09.04.2025 - The auditing network HLB Germany and the technology company Deep Neuron Lab (DNL) concluded a cooperation agreement in March 2025. The aim of the cooperation is to make the audit activities of HLB members more efficient, transparent and of higher quality through the use of innovative AI-supported audit software.
The cooperation between DNL and individual members of the HLB network has been in place since 2022 and has continuously expanded due to convincing results. Now all member companies within the German HLB network benefit from exclusive group conditions and can optimally utilise the advantages of the AI-supported software.
DNL's audit software transforms audit processes by automating standardized and repetitive tasks with the help of artificial intelligence. The software clearly structures the audit process into individual steps, enables centralized management of checklists and ensures real-time updates. It also improves documentation quality through intelligent links, transparent version control and a central information platform.
"By using AI-supported software, we want to raise the audit quality of our network members to a new level. AI-based automation will give our auditors additional scope for strategic decisions and thus secure a sustainable competitive advantage," explains Malo Kröning, Secretary General of HLB Deutschland GmbH.
With the AI-supported software from DNL, HLB members are optimally prepared for the increasing regulatory requirements. The software reliably analyzes notes, management reports and sustainability reports and supports the efficient implementation of regulatory requirements. As a result, the HLB network is sustainably strengthening its position as a future-oriented auditing service provider.
