Welcome to Your One-Stop Audit Shop!

Not all small internal audit shops have the budget, the need, or the time to implement enterprise software. Auditors are being asked to expand the scope of their services and take on a more strategic advisory role, to provide investigations, assurance and advisory services including operations and processes, compliance, and risk management. Using spreadsheets can accomplish this, but it is tedious and difficult to quickly query data for statistics and reports.

We see the need. essentialAudit is a quick download and self-install. No IT involvement (or very minimal) is required. The basic framework includes risk assessment, annual planning, audit workpapers, issue remediation, and reporting. essentialAudit is built on “enterprise DNA”: the same robust and user-rich features previously only available in large-scale corporate environments, while still being affordable and sustainable.

What Do You Need?

Technology is important. However, how much technology is important to your internal audit department? Do you have the need for cloud, web, AI; or do you prefer to control your OWN data? There are options to work locally off a laptop, access a SQL database on the company’s network, or do a combination of working remotely and replicating the data to the network server. The benefit is never having to worry about security breaches or the internet going down.

Our technology can help enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of audits without all the overhead. If you are looking for a basic audit workflow and prebuilt reports, essentialAudit is the answer. This easy-to-use Windows desktop application is designed with maximum flexibility to let you audit the way you want.  

But we think what is just as important is what essentialAudit is NOT:

  • No AI (Artificial Intelligence)
  • No Cloud*
  • No Subscriptions
  • No Million-Dollar Hardware Requirements

essentialAudit doesn’t force a start-from-scratch approach. If you currently use a template library of processes, risks, controls, audit programs or workpapers, they can be imported. Training videos and user guides provide step-by-step instructions to immediately get started.

*By the way, you know what “cloud” is, right? …SOMEONE ELSE’S COMPUTER.

Someone else’s idea of security, someone else’s employees with possible access to your data, perhaps even in someone else’s country.
