Fintech startup Oath Verified has announced the formation of a Quality Advisory Board for its audit practice, Oath CPAs PLLC.

Founding member Sara Lord, former chair of the AICPA Auditing Standards Board and former Chief Auditor at RSM US LLP, will lead the advisory efforts. The startup's model integrates direct connection to financial systems for continuous verification while utilizing licensed CPAs for professional judgment. The leadership team includes Christina Ho, a former PCAOB member, and Asma Surani, an AI Audit Lead with experience at EY and BDO. This strategic move is designed to build institutional trust by aligning automated technology with established auditing standards.
