abstract
Going beyond simple text processing, financial auditing requires detecting semantic, structural, and numerical inconsistencies across large-scale disclosures. As financial reports are filed in XBRL, a structured XML format governed by accounting standards, auditing becomes a structured information extraction and reasoning problem involving concept alignment, taxonomy-defined relations, and cross-document consistency. Although large language models (LLMs) show promise on isolated financial tasks, their capability in professional-grade auditing remains unclear. We introduce FinAuditing, a taxonomy-aligned, structure-aware benchmark built from real XBRL filings. It contains 1,102 annotated instances averaging over 33k tokens and defines three tasks: Financial Semantic Matching (FinSM), Financial Relationship Extraction (FinRE), and Financial Mathematical Reasoning (FinMR). Evaluations of 13 state-of-the-art LLMs reveal substantial gaps in concept retrieval, taxonomy-aware relation modeling, and consistent cross-document reasoning. These findings highlight the need for realistic, structure-aware benchmarks. We release the evaluation code at https://github.com/The-FinAI/FinAuditing and the dataset at https://huggingface.co/collections/TheFinAI/finauditing. The task currently serves as the official benchmark of an ongoing public evaluation contest at https://open-finance-lab.github.io/SecureFinAI_Contest_2026/.

AuditFlow combines a graph-grounded symbolic environment with a multi-agent LLM setup to reach 82.09% joint audit accuracy on structured financial reports, 14.93 points above the strongest baseline.
Herculean benchmark shows frontier agents handle trading and market insights better than hedging and auditing workflows that demand state consistency and structured verification.
Conv-FinRe is a new benchmark built from real market data and human trajectories that tests LLMs on generating utility-grounded stock rankings over fixed horizons while distinguishing rational analysis from behavioral mimicry or momentum.
FinReasoning is a hierarchical benchmark that decomposes LLM financial research capabilities into semantic consistency, data alignment, and deep insight, revealing model-type differences in auditing versus insight generation.
Finch is a new benchmark with 172 composite workflows and 384 tasks from real enterprise data that shows top AI models like GPT-5.1 Pro pass only 38.4% of workflows under human evaluation.
