AuditBoard

“Driving risk ownership is an important step in the process. Issues and controls aren’t necessarily owned by internal audit. Instead, it’s the business and the end users who own the process, the controls, and the issues for remediation. Now, if people want to take a look at issues that are open, or specific to their particular environment, they can do so. What they see will now be consistent with what internal audit is looking at.”

“[Before AuditBoard] Astellas did not have a system. We used SharePoint and various shared drive sites throughout our different regions, and access to information was scattered. It wasn’t readily available to have a view across the globe.”

“A big part of a manager’s job at that point is keeping status and being able to report on testing status. All that changed when we went over to AuditBoard, because AuditBoard gives you instant status at all times. I’ve been able to put together dashboards to keep status with my team and understand where they’re at. Also, quarterly reporting to stakeholders within management has been streamlined.”
