With Audit Management, you can effortlessly add a work schedule as needed, providing your audit teams with the flexibility to swiftly adapt to business demands for expert independent reviews.
For instance, when examining a new business acquisition or joint venture, assessing the consequences of an emerging risk not yet recorded in the corporate register, or evaluating the impact of market disruptions on vulnerable areas of the business.
All of these processes are efficiently managed through robust version control, ensuring a comprehensive audit trail of plan modifications made throughout the year. This documentation can be readily presented to stakeholders and regulators, offering clear evidence of the audit process.
Audit Management streamlines your audit teams' fieldwork by linking electronic workpapers to multiple audit file elements, eliminating unnecessary duplication. This feature enables the creation of composite workpapers that encompass test plans covering various controls, risks, and processes. These workpapers are seamlessly linked to audit findings, ensuring a strong and easily navigable audit trail.
Additionally, your teams receive checklists to record test approaches and results, eliminating the need for duplicate or intermediary workpapers. This empowers a more efficient and focused audit execution.
