Audit Management

Centrally manage audit planning, staffing, fieldwork and reporting, and coordinate information among risk, compliance and audit teams

RSA Archer Audit Management puts you in control of the complete audit lifecycle, enabling improved governance of ongoing audit-related activities, data and processes without the limitations of manual or stand-alone solutions. Aligned with the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) standards, this web-based solution provides an aggregate view of your audit program, including planning, scheduling, risk-based prioritization, staffing, management of audit procedures and tracking of remediation efforts. Through RSA Archer Audit Management, you can transform paper-based documentation into a dynamic audit program, enhance the focus and efficiency of audits, perform risk-based scoping of the audit universe, and easily integrate with other enterprise governance, risk and compliance (eGRC) processes.

  • Document and Risk Assess Your Audit Universe

    Document your targeted audit entities, and determine audit scope by completing dynamic risk assessments of your audit universe. These fully configurable assessments reveal the inherent and control risk associated with each audit entity, and the solution uses the assessment results, in combination with past audit history, to automate the scheduling of audit engagements for each entity.

  • Organize Audit Projects

    Build a centralized, consistent library of procedures that can be related to multiple audit projects automatically by type or assigned to projects on an ad hoc basis. The solution generates workpapers with fully configurable workflow allowing audit staff to document the results of procedures associated with an audit project. Additionally, the solution auto-generates emails to alert audit staff of their pending tasks.

  • Manage Audit Staffing

    Easily review utilization and capacity for audit staff and assign personnel to audit projects and tasks. Time and expense functionality allows you to monitor budgeted and actual time for audit work, along with associated expenses. You can also staff audit projects appropriately based on skill sets, accreditations, etc.

  • Execute Audit Plans

    Capture the results of audit tests in fully configurable workpapers, and attach supporting documentation and review notes. Also measure the internal audit department’s ability to achieve established milestones within the audit process, such as kick-off meetings, field work start dates and completion dates.

  • Generate Deficiency and Management Reports

    Manage deficiencies that are auto-generated based on failed audit test steps, enable audit customers to respond to those deficiencies, and track remediation projects to completion. Also utilize real-time reports and dashboards, and export audit data to custom Word templates so you can quickly deliver professional reports to business owners and management.

  • Integrate Audits With Your GRC Program

    Relate audits to data and processes that you manage with additional RSA Archer eGRC Solutions for a better understanding of the strategic role internal audit plays in helping your organization manage risk and achieve business objectives. This integrated approach helps you avoid duplication of effort, ensure the consistency of audit results, and facilitate a common risk assessment process across various assurance and compliance functions.

  • Streamlined Audit Approach

    Centralization of audit documentation and processes, and correlation of audit workpapers with evidence, observations and remediation efforts in a single, access-controlled solution

  • Significant Efficiencies

    The ability to share information across departments, repurpose audit procedures, automate workflow and findings generation, and utilize data captured within RSA Archer for other eGRC processes, leading to cost savings and improved accuracy of audit results

  • Rollup Reporting

    The ability to roll up audit status and results to business processes, facilities, third parties, applications, stakeholders and other auditable entities

  • Quick Time to Value

    Rapid return on your investment from a solution that you can implement out of the box (using predefined access roles, workflow, reports, dashboards, etc.) or easily tailor to your unique audit risk and engagement planning methodologies through point-and-click configuration

  • Deployment Flexibility

    The freedom to choose an on-premise or software as a service (SaaS) deployment and to move the solution from one environment to another as your needs change
