Universe to annual plan to closed finding.
Map your audit universe
Define the auditable entities, processes, and systems once, with risk ratings, so planning starts from exposure instead of a blank calendar.
Build the annual plan
Turn the universe into a risk-based annual audit plan, and show the audit committee exactly why each engagement earned its place.
Execute and sign off
Run engagements with structured workpapers, raise findings, and track them to verified closure — every step on the record.
Internal audit that survives the next audit
Audit universe
A living inventory of auditable entities, processes, and systems with risk ratings, so planning starts from where the exposure is rather than from habit.
Risk-based annual plan
Build the annual audit plan from the universe, balance coverage against risk, and defend every engagement on the list to the committee.
Engagement workpapers
Run each audit with structured workpapers — scope, testing, evidence, and conclusions — instead of a folder of disconnected spreadsheets.
Findings to closure
Raise findings with severity and owners, track remediation, and verify closure — the same finding lifecycle used across compliance and risk.
Review and sign-off
Structured review and an approval trail on every workpaper, so independence and conclusions hold up when an external auditor reviews your function.
An evidence trail that holds
Every workpaper and finding carries version history and an immutable trail. When someone asks you to show your work, the answer is a record, not a reconstruction.
What heads of audit ask before they switch
Does it cover the full audit lifecycle?
Yes — audit universe, risk-based annual plan, engagement workpapers, findings, and verified closure, all on one connected record.
How is the annual plan built?
From the audit universe and its risk ratings, so coverage is risk-based and defensible to the audit committee rather than a flat rotation.
Can findings link to compliance and risk?
Yes. Audit findings use the same finding lifecycle as the rest of the platform and can connect to the controls and risks they relate to.
Where does the audit data live?
On-premise, inside your own network. Plans, workpapers, evidence, and findings never leave your environment.
Is it point-in-time?
Yes. Vantage is a records-of-truth platform, built so you can prove what was concluded, by whom, and when.
