Beyond the Balance Sheet: AI-Enhanced Due Diligence
Quality of Earnings Audits
The Problem
Quality of Earnings (QoE) audits focus on historical earnings accuracy—but often miss non-financial risks that can erode future earnings.
Traditional QoE reports rarely evaluate:
-
Human capital risk: workforce stability, turnover, and inclusion.
-
Algorithmic and AI risk: exposure from biased or opaque decision systems.
-
Regulatory compliance risk: data privacy, accessibility, and fairness obligations that can affect valuation.
These hidden risks can translate into EBITDA volatility, litigation exposure, and reputational loss.
The Solution: BiasSignal
BiasSignal augments traditional QoE audits with AI-powered bias, compliance, and workforce analytics.
Our system analyzes HR, payroll, CRM, and AI system data to reveal:
-
Human Capital Quality Index – workforce stability, diversity, and key-person dependency.
-
Bias Exposure Map – potential discrimination or inequity patterns in people, pricing, or performance data.
-
AI & Compliance Risk Score – identifies risk from algorithmic bias, GDPR, ADA, and AI Act non-compliance.
