Audit Management Software

Audit management software covers the work around an audit rather than the opinion itself: client and auditee documents, the engagement's stages from acceptance to archive, request lists, time and fees, and the follow-up of findings. This hub gathers Creodata's guides for audit, tax and accounting firms and for internal audit departments: the file assembly period and retention rules country by country, professional clearance letters, PBC and audit request list templates, the internal audit request for information, the Global Internal Audit Standards, and Kenya's public sector internal audit manual.

The guides are written for partners, practice managers and quality leads at audit firms, and for heads of internal audit in government entities, banks, SACCOs and listed companies. Choosing software? Start with the buyer's guide to audit software in Kenya. Each guide says plainly where AuditEDMS fits and where it does not.
