Audit software for Tanzania's NBAA-registered firms and public sector internal audit units.

At least five years from the end of the accounting period, in a form NBAA can access (by-law 21). ISA 230 counts its five years from the date of the auditor's report, which falls later, so keeping the file to the later date meets both. The client's own books run six years from the date they are made up (Companies Act s.154), and tax records five years, and until any objection or appeal is finally decided (Tax Administration Act s.43). AuditEDMS gives each document type its own retention date and puts a file on legal hold when it must stay longer.

NBAA may visit a firm at least once every three years and scores it from Excellent (81 to 100) down to Poor (0 to 40). A Poor firm is kept under review for a year, and failing again leads to sanctions. The reviewer samples engagement files; in AuditEDMS each one has a compliance view showing the acceptance, clearance, engagement letter, sign-off and archive steps with their dates and evidence.

No. The submission is made through NBAA's own electronic channel. AuditEDMS can carry it as a stage in the statutory audit, so the engagement cannot be treated as complete until the acknowledgement is filed against it.

The internal audit template is ready to use and adjusted at implementation to the manual your unit follows, from notification and entrance meeting through fieldwork, exit meeting and draft report to management responses, the final report and archiving. Requests for information go to the audited department or LGA as upload links. Management's agreed actions are followed to verified implementation in the findings register, and the follow-up register shows the audit committee what is open and overdue. The annual audit plan is not in AuditEDMS today.

By-law 20 obliges the outgoing auditor to give the incoming auditor access to audit information on a written request. If fourteen days pass with no reply, the incoming auditor may decide on professional judgement whether to accept. AuditEDMS's clearance stage waits fourteen days by default, holds the written request as its evidence, and closes early only when the reply is recorded, so the file shows which of the two routes was taken.

In your own Azure subscription, in the region you choose, with documents in your own SharePoint. There is no Azure region in East Africa today; the nearest are in South Africa. The Act, in force since 1 May 2023 with its 2023 Regulations, requires controllers and processors to register with the PDPC, which also issues a Cross-Border Data Transfer Permit. Settle whether your registration and a permit cover the region before you choose it; we will explain exactly what the deployment stores and where.

No. At implementation AuditEDMS is set up for Mainland Tanzania: fees in shillings, VAT at the standard 18 percent (one rate for every fee note, so a fee note that qualifies for TRA's 16 percent rate cannot yet use it), a tax template that files with the TRA, and books kept six years. Billing milestones raise fee notes at the stages you choose, with VAT, part payments, and work in progress and yield from approved time, but the fee notes stay in AuditEDMS: they are not fiscal receipts, and nothing posts to TRA or to an accounting system.

On Microsoft Marketplace, Basic is US$200 a month for firms of up to 30 staff and Enterprise US$500 a month for firms of up to 75 staff, with priority support; a 90-day pilot is free, by invitation. Azure costs are billed to your own subscription, typically US$45 to 80 a month for 20 to 50 staff; implementation is quoted on its own.
