Reinventing Audit in a Risk-Driven World
Internal audit functions are under pressure to provide more than assurance—they are expected to deliver insight, foresight, and continuous oversight. Yet many audit teams remain weighed down by fragmented tools, manual workpapers, and disconnected reporting. The result is slower audit cycles, limited visibility for stakeholders, and difficulty demonstrating compliance with global standards.
Why You Need a GRC System for Internal Audit
- Risk-based audit planning requires alignment with enterprise risk data to focus resources on the most material issues.
- Manual testing and follow-up processes create inefficiencies and limit the ability to provide timely insights to management and boards.
- Regulatory and stakeholder expectations demand clear, audit-ready documentation that can withstand scrutiny from bodies like the IIA, PCAOB, and SOX regulators.
