Multi-dimensional audit universe
By entity, function, process, release, dependency, theme, location, or Practice Instance set. Universe entries tagged by applicable audit types with coverage tracking and last-audited date.
Audit prep that doesn't exist — because the evidence is already there.
Most organizations operate four to five separate tools for audit. One for compliance audit. Another for branch inspection. A third for vigilance and whistleblower cases. A fourth for forensic engagements. Each with its own users, workflows, evidence stores — none talking to each other.
Repeat findings stay invisible because the audit history is fragmented. Audit prep consumes weeks per quarter. The CAE manages a fragmented operating reality and reports a stitched-together picture to the audit committee.
One audit engine. Eight modes. One signal fabric. Continuous concurrent audit is native to the Assurance Engine — every operationalized Practice Instance is, by definition, under concurrent audit. The Audit Module orchestrates everything else on top: compliance audit, risk-based internal audit, inspection (with mobile field app), vigilance investigation (with restricted access), forensic audit (with WORM evidence vault and chain of custody), thematic audit, and operational audit.
All on the same platform. All fed by the same signal stream. With type-specific tools layered on top. The pre-engagement signal pack means auditors start with the full picture, not from scratch.
All 8 modes run on the same platform, sharing users, evidence, and workflow.
Every mode inherits the Assurance Engine's operational signal stream.
Auditors start with instance signals, prior findings, risk profile and dependency health.
By entity, function, process, release, dependency, theme, location, or Practice Instance set. Universe entries tagged by applicable audit types with coverage tracking and last-audited date.
Covering every mode — RBIA plan, branch inspection plan, thematic plan, regulatory audit plan. Risk-weighted prioritization informed by Risk Management. Audit committee plan approval workflow.
With auditor skills, certifications, location coverage. Independence and conflict checks flag operationally involved auditors.
Initiation (scope, objectives, criteria, period, team, methodology), pre-engagement signal pack, fieldwork (working papers, sampling, interviews, walkthroughs), observation management, type-specific reporting, closure and follow-up with repeat-finding detection.
Assurance Engine history at Instance level, prior findings, risk profile, dependency health. Auditors start with the full picture.
Mobile field app for inspection (offline evidence capture, photo documentation, GPS verification); restricted case work for vigilance (whistleblower hotline, anonymized reporting); chain-of-custody for forensic.
With cryptographic integrity, hash, timestamp, provenance; tamper detection on every access; legal hold; certified deletion.
With cryptographic integrity — every action timestamped, user-attributed, defensible to any regulator.
IIA standards compliance tracking, internal QA review per audit, external quality assessment readiness; CAE reporting line config and audit committee charter management.
Eight modes replace four to five point tools.
Audit prep collapses — pre-engagement signal pack means auditors start with the full picture.
Repeat findings detected automatically across cycles.
IIA-aligned out of the box; ready for external quality assessment.
Branch / plant / hospital inspection on a mobile field app, offline-capable, GPS-verified.
Nobody else does this.
Offline capture, photo documentation and GPS verification.
Hash, timestamp, provenance, chain of custody.
