Audit Universe Runtime: Agent Design for Executing Audit Procedures as Runtime Operations

Transforming ISA/JICPA standards into executable agent specifications — from sampling strategies to substantive testing, within a MARIA OS governance architecture

Traditional audit procedures are encoded in prose-based standards that resist automation. This paper presents the Audit Universe Runtime — a multi-agent execution environment within MARIA OS that compiles audit standards (ISA, JICPA) into executable agent task specifications. We formalize audit procedures as state machines, design sampling strategy agents with statistical rigor, implement real-time anomaly detection during substantive testing, and prove audit completeness through a formal coverage model. The architecture maps MARIA coordinates to engagement structures, enabling continuous auditing with immutable audit trails and human-agent collaboration gates at every materiality threshold.

Dynamic Regulatory Synchronization: Formal Models for Real-Time Policy Update Propagation

Ingesting regulatory amendments as Policy Set deltas and verifying gate rule consistency through automated compliance checking

Regulatory environments can change faster than manual compliance workflows can absorb updates. This article models policy updates as algebraic deltas and focuses on internal rule-verification mechanics, not on turnkey legal automation or real-time compliance certification. The benchmark figures are best read as replay-style engineering measurements on a curated corpus.

AML Detection Gate Optimization: Constrained Loss Minimization for Anti-Money Laundering

Formalizing gate strength as a continuous control variable to minimize the combined cost of false positives, missed detections, and investigation delay in AML compliance pipelines

AML programs face a costly tradeoff between false positives, missed detections, and investigation delay. This paper formalizes AML detection as constrained loss minimization over gate strength `g` and treats the benchmark numbers as synthetic scenario outputs, not as universal regulatory thresholds or turnkey compliance claims. The practical value of the article is in the control framework, escalation logic, and risk-based calibration structure.

Auditable Financial Decision Traceability: Evidence Graph Models for Regulatory Compliance

Formal evidence graph construction and matrix-algebraic traceability for reconstructing every financial decision under SOX, Basel III, and MiFID II

Regulatory reconstruction of AI-driven financial decisions is difficult when logs are fragmented, timestamps drift, or causal links are missing. This paper introduces a formal evidence-graph model where each decision is an immutable node in a directed acyclic graph, linked by typed causal edges with cryptographic evidence bundles. We define `TraceCompleteness` as `TC = |reproducible decisions| / |total decisions|` and report `TC >= 0.997` across evaluated SOX, Basel III, and MiFID II audit scenarios.
