"When we implemented AuditBoard, it was like being propelled forward into the 21st century."
“One of the things I didn’t realize that we’d be getting from AuditBoard when we shifted over was a more effective review cycle around our internal control testing. The ability to add our auditors in and have review notes go back and forth in real time, including directly from my email box, has just made our process so much faster. Since switching to AuditBoard from our previous SOX tool, we’ve been able to reduce our hours and move up our deadlines about 20% from the previous year.”
“When I joined Thryv, Inc. part of my mandate was to change the brand of internal audit and I did that with the value proposition that internal audit is the internal risk monitor of the company. There’s really no one else in the company that brings a controls mindset, a risk mindset, and then touches all the facets of the business. It is crucial to be able to position internal audit where we can bring that knowledge and experience, and then escalate that up in the right form, whether that’s an internal audit report or a readout or being part of a steering committee. All of these [capabilities] help to reinforce that internal audit mission, which is to find those risks, evaluate the risks, and then help our management team mitigate those risks.”
“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.”
From a control compliance perspective, using Excel makes it extremely difficult to assess if you have control gaps — so how could we assess risk and confidently say we don’t have any deficiencies or material weaknesses? AuditBoard brings visibility front and center.”
“The first year that I spent at Tennant, it was hard to understand where we were at, at any given point in time. As I was communicating to our senior leadership team on status and updates regarding our process and our program, it became very apparent that it was difficult to actually provide relevant data.”
“When I joined Elevations two and a half years ago, the internal audit department was primarily outsourced. The decision had been made to insource the audit department, and I was brought on to coordinate that initiative. I hired a team and took a fresh look at our workpaper management system and all of our processes and procedures — there were a lot of inefficiencies."
“One of my favorite things that we have in CrossComply are the different frameworks that we have to comply with, including NCUA, CFPB, and different state regulations. It’s very easy to go in and learn about the regulations because we can drill down into a specific framework and it has all the different regulations laid out in front of you. We can automatically add all of our testing work so we can easily review any of the testing work that we’ve done either in previous audits or in previous compliance testing engagements — all in one place. It streamlines the ability to review all the work we’ve already done and the work that we have coming up in those different frameworks.”
“In motorcycle riding, obviously there’s lots of danger, and I like to call them disruptors, Sometimes you’ll see a deer, a pothole, a car turning in front of you, but the way you manage that risk is really understanding how to ride that motorcycle appropriately.”
“AuditBoard from the start has just made our lives and our ability to report to our executive management team exponentially easier."
“What made us choose AuditBoard was that the company hires former auditors, They help explain best practices for managing the SOX audit process. For me personally, I think the customer experience is great.”
"It’s a very user-friendly, efficient platform that has solved a problem that’s existed for 20 years since SOX has been out — to develop an intuitive solution that is designed for auditors … it helps us perform our job without having to conform our procedures to some tool."
"It truly feels as though auditors that have a great understanding of the industry’s needs for documenting and organizing quality audit work created the system."
"With our old software I got negative comments related to how cumbersome it was. We’ve actually received compliments from several process owners that they love using the AuditBoard system."
