Automating broker-dealer audits with Box CLI and Claude Code

Valmark, a broker-dealer and investment advisor, revamped its labor-intensive audit process by integrating Box CLI with Claude Code, an AI terminal assistant, turning it into a streamlined, AI-first workflow. This transformation enabled non-technical team members to authenticate easily and execute complex audit workflows through natural language prompts, eliminating the need for developer intervention. By leveraging Box CLI’s help functionality, Claude Code effectively translated natural language into precise API commands, thus simplifying metadata template referencing and reducing manual lookup tasks. The integration also enhanced document processing capabilities, allowing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of scanned documents and on-the-fly AI extraction of structured data, which improved downstream analysis and made data instantly audit-ready. This approach not only increased efficiency but also empowered Valmark’s Commissions team to manage the audit cycle independently, without extensive scripting knowledge.
