“When Carrier became a separate entity from our parent company, our previous solution no longer worked. It was very customized and inflexible. We really needed something that we could quickly set up and implement in a short time period. We needed a solution that gave us the flexibility to redefine what our internal audit processes were, without discarding what worked previously. We are a global organization with global audit teams. We needed a solution that allowed our team members in China, India, and around the world to be able to use the software with minimal disruption.”
“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 the main things we were looking for in a software solution was ease of use — so not only our team, but also everyone within the company can use it. We have several processes within the software such as our SOX testing that has many, many people going into the software to attach documents and leave comments. We needed to find software that the entire company could use and easily understand.”
“At Ulterra, our culture and strategy are focused on doing our work better and faster — engineering, manufacturing, customer service. Our accounting team and partners live up to that expectation too. Our growth has been explosive — the last thing we could afford to do is slow that down."
“The problem was that if we became a public company, we didn’t have all the right processes and controls in place."
"AuditBoard was a rock star solution for audit and our business owners. We had people calling us to thank us for how efficient we made the process."
“We were using spreadsheets and our shared drive to manage our workpapers."
"AuditBoard delivered a configurable solution with a quick and easy implementation, and we were able to use our existing formats to upload data into the system. We didn’t have to reinvent our process, which was a big win for me."
"We were doing control testing, third party risk assessments, corporate risk management, policy management, issue management, and a SOC 1 — all within AuditBoard, and all within one year of buying the tool."
“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.”
"Ochsner Health is a local health system based out of New Orleans, Louisiana. I manage a team of six IT auditors, and we use the AuditBoard platform not just for my team, but for our entire department. This year our team has taken on a number of new initiatives such as the HIPAA security risk assessment as well as NIST cybersecurity framework assessments.”
“The comment section helps a lot when you’re working on different items as you’re going through your audit — especially when you’re not in the office and you can’t walk over to somebody and talk to them about it. That definitely helps with collaboration between the teams.”
“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.”
“Our team at GoHealth is pretty small — it’s myself and one manager. We co-source with an external third party to fill out the team. Our main focus right now is SOX compliance. I had actually implemented AuditBoard in my previous company. It went really well, and everybody liked it, so I came here knowing that I didn’t want to go back to shared drives, Excel files, and status update meetings. That’s why, when I started here, from the get-go I knew we were getting a tool, no matter what.”
“My most recent audit experience was as a senior consultant at a large consulting firm. A lot of my clients did not use a platform or software for SOX, so I felt like a lot of my administration responsibilities were pretty tedious and very manual.”
