A: Petual can test any control where evidence exists in structured or unstructured data - including access reviews, segregation of duties, reconciliations, approvals, financial reporting controls, and IT controls.

**Q: How accurate is AI-driven testing?**
A: Petual achieves better than human precision because AI agents consistently apply the same testing procedures across all samples without fatigue or oversight errors.
