INTERNAL AUDIT MANAGEMENT

What is audit management?

Audit Management is for Internal Audit teams that aim to go beyond the traditional way audits have been conducted and push the audit function into a strategic advisory role in their organization. Audit Management allows them to increase efficiency in their current processes with the power of data and automation, while offering deeper information so they can advise the C-suite and the board.

How can Audit Management help me?

The central objectives of the Internal Audit function are the following:

  • Demonstrate compliance with applicable laws and regulations (for example, SOX)
  • Improve the reliability of financial reports and prevent fraud
  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Reduce revenue leakage
  • Inform and provide guarantees in a timely manner to the CEO, CFO and the Board of Directors
  • Increase risk coverage
  • Automate the entire internal audit management process

Benefits of Audit Management?

Audit Management will provide teams with a well-managed program with greater visibility and efficiency to increase security and reduce costs.

A recent study by the respected Forrester found that Audit Management was able to:

  • Reduce the time it takes to complete an audit by 50%
  • Increase the number of audits carried out by 33%
  • Saving money by reducing problems
  • Earn money through better decision making
