Urban Lightbulb's Involvement
Since late 2021, Nick at Urban Lightbulb has played a senior architectural role in rebuilding Audit Assistant from the ground up. Working closely with Audit Assistant’s own development team, Nick and Urban Lightbulb provide maintenance, feature development, and technical expertise across most areas of this highly advanced application.
Given the financial and sensitive nature of auditing, privacy-focused solutions and strong internet security are paramount. Legal record-keeping requirements mean data must be retained for several years, making backward compatibility essential. Ensuring seamless integration of new developments while maintaining compliance presents a unique and complex challenge—one that Urban Lightbulb continues to navigate with expertise.
