Senior Reliability Compliance Specialist

Sr. Auditor

I like that AuditBoard provides a centralized system, making it easy to manage audits, track issues, and access documentation all in one place for better efficiency and collaboration.

GRC Manager

It has provided efficiency and process improvements across the board, reutilizing evidence artifacts, automating evidence collection, and providing a great UX for stakeholders.

SVP Internal Audit

SOX Hub workflow including interface with control owners for documentation and evidence collection; AuditBoard Sync for real time editing of workpapers within the system

Internal Audit Manager - SOX and QAIP

The AuditBoard platform is highly customizable, which allows our team to tailor the data captured, and thus reportable, in our operational audits and ICFR.

IT Audit Senior Manager

Its simplicity of use, combined with multiple features important for Internal Audit/SOX work, such as controls and documents testing platform, outreach to stakeholders to perform periodic controls and provide evidence needed for testing, connectivity to other enterprise applications.

lack of segregated user access at admin level when managing multiple types of activities within one instance; for instance, not being able to restrict access to internal audit workpapers from other admins unless you have IA be the admin for the entire platform

SOX Compliance Manager

Also, I wish the SOX risk assessment feature was more robust and allowed for more streamlined mapping of control setup and chart of accounts.

Senior Internal Auditor

AuditBoard is an amazing tool to streamline evidence gathering, testing, risk and control matrix, and others all in one platform.

The control certification functionality (using surveys to confirm if any control changes exist) unfortunately does not allow consolidation or bundling of controls for control owners.

IT Internal Audit

I used AuditBoard at my last company and was an advocate for implementing AuditBoard at my current company that managed the SOX program in Google Sheets.

Accountant

AuditBoard has great customer service; they respond to support tickets within 24 hours, but usually it is within hours of when I submit the ticket that I receive a response.  

Manager, Internal Controls

Annotate doesn't allow for excel files to be annotated unless you do PDF conversion which is not ideal.

I wish there was more formatting options in capturing Audit work documentation, like rich text fields - I don't want to put everything in an attached workpaper.  

It gives businesses the ability to easily monitor an always-changing risk & controls matrix.

While AuditBoard is fairly flexible, there are some limitations like its control hierarchy of Entity -> Process -> Subprocess.

Automation capability, Custom ABI Dasboards for monitoring, single source of truth for process documentation.

Manager, Audit Services

The ability to integrate our engagements into once place, including risks, while being able to more adequately manage each project.

I also love the workstream functionality so we can put as much into AB vs. email requests as possible.

Senior Auditor

The ability to customize different functionality based on your needs especially reporting and dashboard.

Sr. Manager, Internal Audit

The desire to be a connected risk platform, not just accommodate a single use case as an information repository.

WorkStream function is super useful for approval workflow, document request, or communicate with business owners

Internal Contril Senior Advisor

Yes, there is a lot of resource available, such as help center, community, inner circle, AB academy and such. Because there is so much information out there, it makes it difficult to find the solution you are looking for.

There are a bunch of small quirks in its core products, like SOXhub. When I've brought these items to the attention to the helpdesk and consultants, the response is always "suggest it as an idea in the community".

I like the streamlined feature of managing the risks & controls matrices as well as the Workstream.

Technology Audit Manager

Really like AB products and it does save lots of time for our team to manage our workload/pbc/follow-up/managing multiple workstream

You can adapt it to most processes even though the company's processes are not in line with industry standards.

Cybersecurity Risk Manager

AuditBoard has definitely helped us improve our cybersecurity risk management practices, and we intend to use it a lot more to continue to improve.

Users outside of the IA team are able to quickly navigate to the RCM, PBC and certification page.

Additionally, AuditBoard has demonstrated a continuous effort to innovate with new system features & functionality.

It is great to have a platform that integrates elements of risk, audit, and compliance in one place.

Associate

For our shop as we have grown it has been a bit of a struggle to make changes to our environment ourselves and have rather needed to work with AB support members more often than not.

VP, Head of Internal Audit

The tool requires an excel plug-in, AuditBoard Sync, which requires individual installation on each machine, and requires the user to close out of all Microsoft Products to install.

Assistant Regional Internal audit Manager

It offers a range of features and tools to help auditors manage their work more effectively, including risk assessments, audit planning, testing and sampling tools, and collaboration tools.

Analyst II

I also like the ease of creating a report and new tools like visualizations and dashboarding.

Analyst

useful for internal audit purposes and being able to customize lots of functions

Sr. Manager, ERM

I love the ability to see our risk data in a way that provides insights.

CISO

As an organization, they seem to understand that and have an excellent process for getting your environment setup and working and some initial training completed.

Controls and Compliance Manager

I like that you can set up controls in 1 place and they can be used by the other modules/users.

There are certain features like automatic change to the controls in AB to be captured in the excel spreadsheets saved in AuditBoard that have the same controls listed.

SOX Senior Manager

The connected risk platform, all of the integration between modules, user-friendliness.

Onboarding stakeholders and control owners to AuditBoard is streamlined since the UI is user friendly.

Limitations on reporting/dashboarding based on preexisting fields

Assistant Audit Director

Tremendous opportunities to innovate our audit program and the flexibility to adjust as needed.
