Audit Summarization using Generative AI in NetSuite 2026.1

TL;DR Opening

Starting in NetSuite 2026.1, the Generative AI (GenAI) audit summarization feature automates the summarization of audit findings within the Compliance 360 SuiteApp. By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) via the SuiteScript GenAI API, this feature standardizes outputs and reduces the workload on compliance officers and administrators, facilitating enhanced audit reporting.

What's New

Introduction of Audit Summarization Feature

With the introduction of the GenAI audit summarization feature, users can now generate comprehensive audit summaries that include details extracted from audit control ID, title, description, memo, and status fields. This automation not only speeds up the audit process but also ensures consistency and high quality in the summaries produced.

How It Works

To create an audit summary using the GenAI feature, follow these steps:

1. Create an Audit: Navigate to the Create Audit page and input the required details for your audit.
2. Enhance Text: Click the Text Enhance button adjacent to the Audit Insights field.
3. Choose Functionality: From the provided options, select one of the following:
   • Summarize Audit: Generates a summary based on pre-built prompts and audit data.

   • Make Longer: Expands the AI-generated summary into detailed content.
   • Make Shorter: Produces a concise version of the AI-generated summary.

Important Considerations

• Editing Prompts: Avoid editing the existing prompts within Prompt Studio as it may lead to inconsistent summaries or cause future SuiteApp upgrades to fail.
• Viewing and Saving: Once generated, view the summary using the View button. Utilize the Edit button for changes, and ensure to save your edits cautiously. It's recommended to review AI-generated content for accuracy before finalizing.
