纽约初创公司Clark表示，周一完成了由Touring Capital领投的1100万美元种子轮融资，旨在打造执行审计工作的AI代理。
New York startup Clark raised an $11M seed round led by Touring Capital and launched Clerks, AI agents that work through audits for CPA firms. More than 35 firms use its tools, it says, and it offers a 100% accuracy guarantee.
Marathon Management Partners、Rerail和Sofeon Ventures也参与了本轮融资。该公司此前名为uiAgent，称其累计已融资1600万美元。
New York startup Clark has raised an $11M seed round led by Touring Capital to build AI agents that carry out audit work, the company said on Monday. Marathon Management Partners, Rerail and Sofeon Ventures also joined. The company, which used to be called uiAgent, says it has now raised $16M in total.
其新推出的AI代理称为Clerks，像初级审计员一样被指派到审计项目中。它们审阅文件、执行测试并准备工作底稿。若有缺失，Clerk会向客户索取并在收到后继续工作。
Its new AI agents, called Clerks, are assigned to an audit much like a junior auditor. They review documents, run tests and prepare workpapers. If something is missing, a Clerk asks the client for it and picks the work back up once it arrives.
人类审计员仍负责作出判断并签署最终审计意见，这与Black Ore在其面向会计事务所的AI税务工具中采用的分工相同。Clark称其工具已被超过35家会计事务所使用，其中包括CliftonLarsonAllen和Aprio。
Human auditors still make the judgment calls and sign the final opinion, the same split Black Ore uses in its AI tax tool for accounting firms. Clark says more than 35 accounting firms use its tools, including CliftonLarsonAllen and Aprio.
Clark还向事务所提供100%准确性保证。在四大会计师事务所曾被发现其报告中出现AI错误的领域，这一点尤为重要。
Clark also offers firms a 100% accuracy guarantee. That matters in a field where Big Four firms have been caught publishing AI errors in their own reports.
创始人兼首席执行官Enes Witwit表示：“只有背后有资金支持，准确性承诺才有意义。”
“A promise of accuracy only means something when it has money behind it,” said founder and chief executive Enes Witwit.
Clark是众多争夺审计业务的初创公司之一，该市场由四大会计师事务所按小时收费。Andera在六月筹集了3700万美元用于自动化内部审计，Benford则在围绕其自有软件打造审计事务所。
Clark is one of several startups chasing audit work, a market Big Four firms charge for by the hour. Andera raised $37M in June to automate internal audits, and Benford is building an audit firm around its own software.
