The Arch Super Audit

Find where to reduce cost and increase output across your back office.

The Arch Super Audit shows where your back office is losing leverage: duplicated work, broken reconciliations, vendor overlap, compliance risk, and operational drag.

Arch turns fragmented systems and institutional knowledge into a clear operating picture — so leaders can see where to reduce cost and increase output.

What is the Arch Super Audit?

A diagnostic that reveals how your back office actually operates.

Most leaders see their back office through cost centers and headcount. The Super Audit gives them the operating picture underneath: where work is duplicated, processes are fragile, and experts are stuck on non-expert work.

01 · Map

How the work actually operates

Arch maps the systems, workflows, policies, and knowledge behind decisions in finance and HR.

02 · Identify

Where leverage is being lost

We surface duplicated work, missing context, fragile processes, and hidden compliance risk.

03 · Prioritize

Where to act first

A prioritized view of where to reduce cost, increase output, and strengthen auditability.

What Arch finds

The operating friction that doesn't show up cleanly in any one system.

The Super Audit surfaces the cost, capacity, and compliance drag between systems and teams — and points to where Arch can build solutions on top.

01

Duplicated work across teams and functions

02

Broken reconciliations between systems

03

Vendor overlap and external spend inefficiencies

04

Manual approvals and routing loops

05

Exception patterns that create hidden risk

06

Policy logic trapped in people's heads

07

Fragile workflows dependent on key employees

08

Rework caused by unclear ownership

09

Cost and capacity mismatches across teams

10

Compliance gaps and missing audit trails

11

Opportunities to automate operational burden without replacing expert judgment

Built for executive trust

Compliance, auditability, and defensible decisions.

The Super Audit preserves the evidence behind every finding — source data, workflows, policies, and decision rationale.

This matters where cost, workforce, compliance, and risk intersect.

Easy to start

Start with the data you already have.

No new system. No data cleanup. Arch starts with the spreadsheets, policies, and artifacts your teams already use, connecting what exists and reconciling what conflicts.

You don't need perfect data to begin.

From audit to solution

The Super Audit is the starting point, not the end product.

Once the operating model is in place, Arch builds solutions against your priority workflows — each running on the infrastructure built during the Super Audit.

Step 01

Cost and workforce visibility

Spend, headcount, and capacity in one operating picture.

  • Headcount and spend governance
  • Workforce cost analytics and scenario planning
  • Restructuring and cost-out programs
Step 02

Talent lifecycle workflows

Workflows that move people through the organization on a shared layer.

  • Hiring and offer workflows
  • Compensation cycles
  • Promotions and leveling
  • Joiner-mover-leaver workflows
Step 03

Policy and cross-functional control

Decision workflows across finance, HR, and legal with shared logic and audit trails.

  • Policy exception management
  • Cross-functional approvals across finance, HR, and legal
  • Auditability and decision evidence
What you get

A clear operating view of your back office, and a practical path to action.

Every Super Audit produces deliverables scoped to your priorities and constraints.

Why this matters now

The operating foundation required to use AI safely and effectively.

Every company has an AI mandate. But most back-office decisions still run through disconnected systems, spreadsheets, and human memory.

Automating broken processes without first understanding how the work operates risks scaling bad decisions faster.

The Arch Super Audit gives leaders the operating foundation to use AI safely: connected context, encoded logic, visible friction, and a clear map of where humans should stay in control.
