"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."

“The internal audit environment before AuditBoard was acquired was highly manual, very much supported by spreadsheets, shared folders, and emails, so a very manual process. The difficulties encountered really kind of related around version control, making sure that we have the most current copies. Also sharing documents between our auditees …

“We have to do SOX testing. It is a commitment we’ve made to the organization. It’s our first priority, but there’s value beyond just SOX testing that internal auditors can bring. I feel AuditBoard has enabled us to move into doing consulting projects and operational audits in a more efficient …

“Every single person assigned to self-assess a control, or that’s assigned to do SOX testing, is touching that control throughout the year. That applies to everyone throughout our organization across the globe. That brings an awareness to our organization that goes beyond anything I’ve seen at any other company.”

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …
