“Darling Ingredients has over 10,000 employees across five continents. My roles and responsibilities are to minimize risk from an IT perspective as we grow through acquisitions and as our infrastructure changes and evolves. We are a centralized internal audit team based in Irving, Texas. My group is a team of five, including two auditors in the Netherlands, and is part of a global Internal Audit team of 17.”
“SOXHUB is user friendly. With the dashboard, it’s a very seamless process, it’s a lot easier to run ad hoc reporting at any point in time to figure out where we stand and what we need.”
“The audit team finds AuditBoard very simple to use and intuitive. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. When we have new auditors join the department, we need a document to show them how to use it and how to go through the basic steps. Our team, especially the younger generation, simply starts clicking around, and they figure out the software right away.”
"Our business partners not only have visibility, they are engaged, empowered, and have true ownership of their control environment."
“We were using prior audit software that was limiting us as a team. We were not able to have the level of communication that we were hoping for. We were stuck with something that served as a document repository versus a tool that we could leverage for both our audit documentation as well as reporting.”
“At the time when we decided to evaluate and consider AuditBoard, we weren’t really planning on looking for a different tool. Going to different conferences and having a conversation with the sales rep piqued our interest to go through a demo. From seeing the first five minutes of the demo, we were excited based on initial dashboards and other things we saw. That demo piqued our interest to go forward with the process of switching from the tool we were using at that time, TeamMate, over to AuditBoard.”
"Hey, this is ready to go. Then we submit it, they get an email, and they just have to click a link and it takes them straight to the document. We use it on a daily basis.”
“There are lots of tools available within AuditBoard itself. The help function has a lot of information that you can read about and videos that you can watch as well. If worst comes to worst and you cannot get the answer there, then you can reach out to a team member by sending a message or an email through AuditBoard. Typically we get a response within 24 hours. That is really good for us — that almost immediate response is critical because sometimes, you may have issues that may hinder you from progressing. With the quick response, we’re able to get over those hurdles. For me, the quick response from the AuditBoard team is really, really impressive.”
“iRobot is a leading global consumer robotics company based just outside of Boston. We are best known for our Roomba robot, and we also make robotic mops. Ever since the pandemic started our product demand has gone up from people working from home. Over the last year we’ve been obviously impacted by COVID. Our team has worked from home which has really forced us to rely on technology like Zoom and AuditBoard to make sure we stay connected and keep our work going.”
“Once we implemented AuditBoard, it felt like a breath of fresh air. It was a very easy self-service tool to use — very easy for us to update one control and have that reflected through each of the screens. It was also easy for the business process owners — we received very good feedback from them, as well as the external auditors. It definitely created more efficiencies for our team and more visibility for the business process owners and the external auditors.”
“One of the ways that AuditBoard really helped our team and the process is literally by empowering the control owners. We use WorkStream for quarterly 302 and 404 certifications. The very fact that control owners could go in and recommend changes to the controls — be it central description, frequency, or even making it more collaborative — they had more insights as to what the deadlines were and what is required from them. It’s not just that they had access to the controls, but if something is due, they know when they need to go into AuditBoard and what they need to do — it gave them a better understanding of the whole process.”
“We’ve actually onboarded quite a few contractors and our experience has been that once we show them AuditBoard, they just take it from there — we’ve barely had to work on any training. They can see last year’s prior work and things like that, and they quickly pick up on how AuditBoard works, how to sign off, which requires less supervision from us.”
“It’s a very flexible solution. However you’re doing things now, you will be able to do it that way in AuditBoard — or even better."
“Prior to AuditBoard, we were primarily in Excel, and that brought a whole host of issues from version control; we didn’t know who was making what changes where. Now, AuditBoard’s real-time version control tracking saves us a whole lot of time and stress.”
"Once we got the product, we were worried that they were just telling us ‘yes, yes, yes,’ and then it would turn out that it wouldn’t really happen. As of today, everything we've asked for, AuditBoard has done for us.”
