AuditBoard vs. Diligent One Platform vs. Quality Compliance Systems

Auditboard is especially useful for SOX control testing. It is very convenient having all our information on a single platform. It is easy to communicate PBC requests to clients, store control testing working papers for review, communicate deficiencies and build dashboards to provide visual statistics. Situations where it might not be useful are for organizations that are smaller in size where the templates don't fit well with their internal audit/controls program. There is a significant amount of testing required before using the platform, and adapting working papers to fit in well with AuditBoard

Diligent Community is well suited for entities in the public sector who need to comply with the Brown Act. Diligent One Platform is not well suitable for those who are not tech savvy. Board members who are older and do not use the Diligent One Platform frequently, are not comfortable using some of the functionality - such as voting - so it still needs to be done on the back-end.

• Enhance business compliance by maintaining records and documents for all our processes and reports, which allows us to not worry about training new people in case resources are transferred.
• We integrated risk assessment tools and business continuity plans, which allowed proactive identification and mitigation of potential business risks.
• It helped to secure communication channels with confidential discussions and document sharing among team members and leadership.

• We used to perform our Risk Control Analysis (RCA) for each audit's planning in an Excel spreadsheet. Once we purchased the Risk Oversight module, AuditBoard helped us convert the RCA to a system function rather than a spreadsheet. At first, we lost some of the functionality the spreadsheet provided, but AuditBoard did continue to help us build and work towards a solution more similar to what we previously had. Though happy with it, it's still not perfect. As one example, I'd like to be able to link actual Ops Audit work steps that cover the risk and controls being outlined in the RCA, rather than just adding a comment to state which steps cover them. More of a preference, I suppose.
• I also had demoed their beta Resources and Scheduling module, but it didn't have enough functionality at the time to work for how we put the quarterly Internal Audit schedule together (using Excel). One thing I recall was that you couldn't pull in SOX controls or non-chargeable work (such as education or administration) to auditor's schedules; it was meant to schedule the Ops Audits only. It is possible they have already fixed or improved this; I just haven't seen the updated version.

I give it a 7. It has had a significant impact on the GRC department in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. At the start it took some time to tailor it to our unique business needs and to set up all our requirements. I would say the superpower of the tool is really here, in terms of time saving in report prep and manual testing. We have really used the control self assessment ability to have a strong impact on the business which helped to improve the internal control culture across the business. The dashboarding abilities had limitations for us and we created our own internal dashboards more suited to our operational needs. There is a steep learning curve for the admin roles who manage the system but I assume this will be the case for most of these types of systems. On the opposite side the end user usability is very good and easy to grasp.

HighBond by Galvanize support has some of the best and fastest support that I have experienced. Though we only contact them through emails, they were quick to provide insightful information about our problems. Whenever we email them about an issue, they would be able to reply in less than an hour, ready and prepared with useful solutions to address the issue.

We’re pretty satisfied with the implementation offering and the reading experiences provided. With our quarterly audits, this tool has made the task much more accessible. The outcome of version control of documents is easy to accomplish, and gathering all the records in one place makes it more accessible.

I remember there were a lot of sync issues when I used the internally developed software, but that's probably because a few people were working on the same project at the same time. I have not come across this issue in AuditBoard

I'm excited about diligent due to the fact that they provide many tools to support compliance through use of analytics and testing processes. We also use FloQast, for which I'm an advocate for, however I'm not sure they have expanded yet to support analytics and testing. I don't have any further experience with other products

• Hard to quantify. It was cheaper than the tool we had and we were able to get rid of standalone tool for surveys. overall, just better user experience for all.

• A lot of time and efficiency has been saved for my team as we continue to find different ways to automate tests, continuous monitoring projects, etc. We have been able to shift our focus on enhancement projects that previously had been on the back burner until we had switched to the Diligent One Platform.
