CaseWare IDEA vs. Donesafe

One example of specific scenario in [CaseWare] IDEA is the ability to run samples separately and then based off of the results, compare and contrast the values recorded and easily discern if there are any variables or discrepancies within the data itself. Also, we can test journal entries with certain parameters to check the audit for any issues that may arise pertaining to the criteria. By testing, we are able to make sure the data is accurate and sufficient.

Donesafe is suited to any business due to its customisability and flexibility. There are no situations we have found as yet where it is not suited.

• Easy to understand and easy to use.
• Can use on large quantities of data and quickly analyze them.
• Uses logic that can be followed if one is an auditor. I, for example, could understand the logic in a number of samples, i.e how the number of samples thrown changes when risk changes from low to moderate in proportion taking in consideration the materiality.
• Other audit firms are using 2 software for the process that IDEA alone can do. So IDEA has a definite advantage here.
• Customizable by the company.

• Easy to use: The solution is easy for our people which encourages use.
• Easy to design: We are able to configure our version to align with existing processes. We can do it our way which creates greater ownership of the process.
• Transparency: Once the information is in the system, it is easy to create insights and learn where our opportunities lay.
• Compliant: It creates a central repository of evidence to demonstrate compliance whenever required.

• Bit of a learning curve for the advanced features as a beginner.

• Provision of more in depth training to the Admins.
• Provision of more in depth training for the Admins to troubleshoot from the back end.
• Constant follow up and checks done by the contractor after the launch would've been helpful.

Donesafe has made it easier to roll out the system company-wide in a relatively short period of time. The mobile apps which work offline are the best part about getting the workforce onboarded and start using the tools for reporting incidents and doing inspections with easy checklists. The flexible system makes sure there are no unused parts of the software which just adds to the complexity.

I would rate it a 9 because I never really needed support on this but if I did, there was the necessary support given promptly.

I have used Microstart and would definitely vote for IDEA because IDEA combines what Microstart does with the help of one/more softwares. Where Microstart just gives a number of samples, IDEA selects the number of samples based on materiality, risk, and other factors. It selects those samples from the population leaving out line items that are invalid/ zero. I would prefer using IDEA any day.

Knocked it out of the park, in functionality and usability, particularly in the configuration at the back end. Looks good and customisable to meet branding and look and feel of the business.
