107 AuditBoard Testimonials

“Compared to other implementations of SOX and audit tools that I’ve been a part of - it is unbelievably simple.”

"The technology is incredible and has allowed us to build a foundation on which we can expand, bringing other people and processes into the platform at the right time. Now we connect and collaborate with our security team, our GRC team, and the rest of the organization in ways we were never able to before."

"Our business partners not only have visibility, they are engaged, empowered, and have true ownership of their control environment."

“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.”

“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.”

“AuditBoard is really becoming our central hub for all of our control documentation — not just finance. Going forward, we have to be in a place of being certain around our financials, certain around our control environment, and in compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code. We’re in a place now where we have self-certification rolled out utilizing AuditBoard workflows.”

“I wanted an out-of-the-box solution since we’ve never had software before. I didn’t want to use something I would have to go in and manipulate a lot.”

“[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.”

“The enhancements AuditBoard has provided to our team means that I really think of it as an automated communication tool. When internal audit tests a control – whether it passes or fails – no matter what, we’re linking it to a risk. CrossComply alerts the enterprise risk management team if there’s been perhaps a weak control that’s now ineffective. It allows all of these different teams to see this data in real time. As soon as my team or I indicate that this control is ineffective, the entire team will see it.”

“The use of AuditBoard gives us the ability to involve the stakeholders often and early. They know what’s going to be coming up in the future. They can prepare for it. So that automatically speeds up the process. It gives people a little bit of a heads-up notice. It also keeps people accountable. For instance, instead of having to send out emails and remind people, the system is automatically doing that. So as we continue to grow with AuditBoard, that really helps with how we want to do things.”

“The transparency in AuditBoard is going to make it very easy for us to drill down into underlying documents to support the reporting that we’ll do in our sustainability report. One example that’s relevant to most companies is how you report emissions data. A lot of that information comes from energy usage within our facilities, and that information has to be aggregated across 50+ countries and put somewhere. Verifying the reliability of that information could be a challenge without a system to enable it.“

“We’re giving management value because they’re thinking about things from a higher level. It helps them show up better as they think through their ideation and what they’re going to do, whether it’s take a new action, implement a new tool, or roll out a new product. It just provides that added security of understanding whether their actions are in alignment with our overall risk appetite.”

“The biggest value I think and the greatest reason I’m happy to have AuditBoard is that I can see the fruits of our effort. I see that effectiveness come through andhow I can get other people excited about looking at connected risk throughout the organization. I can see their eyes light up and understand why it’s important to look at risk and controls, even though it’s a topic they generally try to avoid."

“The roadmap that we have going forward is much longer than what we could do in a year, let alone a couple. There’s definitely places where we are still trying to lever more value out of the tool, but we’ve already done a lot in our first three years. So looking ahead to our next three years and squeezing more value out of it as we go. We don’t have any doubt in our mind that AuditBoard will continue to produce value and results, and be a valuable part of our toolkit.”

“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.”
