Automate Audit Tasks with Self-Driving Work
Tell me more
Self-driving work helps solve the unnecessarily complex and outdated processes that prevent audit teams from working at full efficiency. Tedious, time-consuming tasks like copying and pasting data, updating status reports, and tracking down information can be eliminated through audit automation. Instead of wasting time on manual and mundane tasks that have a high risk of human error, audit teams can focus on high-value, strategic work.
Signs you might be ready to automate audit with self-driving work
You’re manually updating status reports
Manually updating status reports in a spreadsheet can be a massive time waster, leaving less time to actively monitor issues and stay ahead of risk.
With automated auditing through self-driving work, you can connect data like test status and it will seamlessly update in your reports and dashboards, improving accuracy and providing instant visibility to key stakeholders.
You’re heavily relying on desktop tools and shared drives
Do you have difficulty finding the current document or spend time manually updating and reconciling data with every change?
By automating audit processes with self-driving work, data changes automatically update in real time everywhere it’s linked. You’re also able to work concurrently in a document with other collaborators to avoid duplicate work.
You’re collaborating via back-and-forth emails
Does collaborating with stakeholders on audit projects turn into a vicious, never-ending email cycle? Collecting evidence and data, gathering input, and managing versions via back-and-forth emails is not only a hassle, but it also increases the risk of lost or outdated information.
By enabling internal audit automation through self-driving work, your colleagues will receive reminders and can comment and upload evidence directly in your documents.
