Internal audit

Audit plans, engagements, reports and recommendations.

The module provides electronic support for internal audit work: annual and multi-annual planning of engagements, carrying out the engagements, drafting reports, issuing recommendations and tracking their implementation.

 
Annual and multi-annual audit plans in the Smart Digital City platform

Annual and multi-annual audit plans, with status, periods and the current step in the workflow.

What changes after the audit report

Audit recommendations no longer stay in the report: the system tracks them, notifies the people responsible and shows clearly what has been implemented and what has not.

Recommendations have a deadline and an ownerTracked through to implementation, not merely recorded
Missed deadlines are flaggedAutomatically, to the owners and to the auditor
Documents register themselvesElectronic signing and automatic entry in the registers

What you can do

The full internal audit cycle, from the annual plan to the implemented recommendation.

Native integrations

Internal audit works together with the correspondence register, with the internal control system and with the notifications component.

The electronic correspondence register, for automatic registration of audit documents
The internal control module, to link engagements with its evaluation and audit component
The notifications component, for auditors, approvers and implementation owners
The document management component, for versioning and archiving

Part of the same platform

Internal audit is not a separate application. It uses the same correspondence register, the same documents and the same signing, notification and audit mechanisms as every other module.

How you can start

You do not have to digitise the whole institution at once.

START ONE

Start directly with this module: Internal audit, the internal portal and the tools it needs to run.

START PRO + INTERNAL AUDIT

If you already have the digital foundation — correspondence register, documents, workflows — the module is switched on top of it, with no migration.
