Although designed as a complete enterprise governance solution, GuardianERM.net has comprehensive audit functionality that enables it to be used as a ‘stand-alone’ audit system.

GuardianERM.net provides seamless integration to help automate and streamline a major part of the internal audit process.

GuardianERM.net supports all forms of audits, including internal audits, OH&S audits, quality audits, IT audits, technical audits, supplier audits, infrastructure audits, project audits and various other types of operational and regulatory compliance audits.

Auditors can evaluate risks and controls across the organisation and develop detailed audit programs and tests to ensure controls are working.

Auditors can plan audits and assign specific auditors and budgets. GuardianERM.net helps auditors to better control the end-to-end management of the audit process and the overall annual audit program.

GuardianERM.net will produce test work papers for auditors to complete and draft/final audit reports once an audit is completed.

GuardianERM.net will help track all audit recommendations to completion.
