107 AuditBoard Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

“My favorite feature was the IPE listing. Some key reports would be relevant to multiple SOX controls across the organization. It was nice to not have to duplicate those everywhere, but just type one hashtag in the linked controls field.”

“When I started at U.S. Xpress they had AuditBoard fully implemented, at least the first couple of modules, SOXHUB and OpsAudit. I came from a company that didn’t use that to begin with. So for me the journey was fairly easy. I would say also for my team, we have a lot of younger staff that are coming straight in for their first audit experience and it’s been really easy to get them up to speed and on board using AuditBoard. As a matter of fact, they love AuditBoard — they’ve threatened to leave if we ever get rid of it, so, that’s not happening!”

“AuditBoard allowed us to understand how other places are doing things, and really come to a best practice and push that to management. AuditBoard has helped us address risk and drive consistency.”

“During the implementation is really where our eyes were opened up to the full capabilities of AuditBoard — but even post-deployment our team continues to observe additional things that AuditBoard can do to serve the organization like the ability to create additional custom test phases. For instance, we’re testing our key reports and spreadsheets within AuditBoard as opposed to externally in an Excel worksheet. Also the ability to send out quarterly narrative update requests, and track the whole process from end to end within AuditBoard was something that continues to deliver incremental benefits.”

“Scalability and compliance mean everything. We want to continue to grow, and in order to be able to do that we need to be able to identify efficiencies from an operating standpoint and maintain compliance with all of our regulators, whether that’s state regulators or federal — and SOX with the SEC. Being able to get through our audits and help management understand their processes and their controls — and how they can enhance those to achieve their goals — is key.”

“One of our biggest objectives is to get our people working on things that matter. Compliance makes a difference because it proves that you are trustworthy, your organization is trustworthy, and you can demonstrate that you meet the goals and objectives of your clients and customers. That’s why compliance is important — proving it needs a tool like AuditBoard.”

“MDA is an international space company. We focus on satellite technologies, robotic solutions for space, and we work throughout the world with government agencies and commercial agencies to provide space support.”

“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 and the other groups made it very difficult and very time consuming.”

“The benefit is we only collect information once from an individual who’s part of the process, and then are able to reuse that evidence multiple times to answer many different questions in the business. An example would be, in our case, we’re really focused on the CMMC framework, but most of those framework requirements have commonality to the NIST frameworks or even ISO 27001. So if we’ve collected the evidence and we have it, it allows us to make strategic decisions as a business.”

“It’s important for us to do more with less. For us to get the same amount of work — if not more — done given what we’re being asked, we need to have the tools at hand. We need to have automation to be able to do that type of work. One thing that AuditBoard has really done for us is listened. They listen to their customers and they evolve their tools to make sure that it adapts to the customer’s needs at the end of the day.”

“Having AuditBoard in place has given me the ability to look at things from a higher level than I would otherwise because I don’t have to get stuck in the details on a day-to-day basis. I don’t have to track down emails or ask people where their control confirmations are at — the system takes care of all that for me. It gives me the ability to take a broader view of the organization, and also add more value through consulting work and ad hoc projects that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.”

"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."

"Once you get in, you can see that this control is linked to this policy, which is linked to this framework, which means if an issue crops up, it affects these five things. That transparency — so easily seen once all the metadata is in — is probably the biggest and easiest selling point for everybody.”
