From plan to closure
Keep assurance work attached to what it examined
Internal audit software is more useful when a finding can be followed back to the control and forward to the management action.
From plan to closure
Plan
Relate audit work to the business area, risks, controls and assurance objective in scope.
From plan to closure
Examine
Retain assessment notes and evidence with the items being evaluated.
From plan to closure
Record
Create a finding with its significance, affected control, risk rationale and agreed owner.
From plan to closure
Follow through
Track management action, evidence, due dates and status until the issue reaches its agreed outcome.
A finding in context
Avoid creating another disconnected action log
Consider an audit that identifies inconsistent access reviews. The finding should show the control examined, evidence considered, risks affected and the management response. The corrective action then retains the reason it exists instead of becoming a line in a separate spreadsheet.
Risk and assurance leaders can report current findings and overdue remediation while authorized users can return to the underlying evidence and decision.
- Finding linked to control
- Risk exposure retained
- Management action and owner
- Evidence and approval history
Participation and access
Let owners respond without opening every audit record
Audit findings management often involves people outside the audit team. Item-level security allows an owner to work on the relevant finding or action while more sensitive audit material remains restricted.
Parapet SaaS does not charge per user, so access decisions can follow responsibility and security rather than seat availability.
- RBAC, groups and specific users
- No separate audit module
- Personal dashboards for assigned work
- Reporting from current records
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Can audit findings be linked to existing risks and controls?
Yes. Findings, controls, risks, evidence and remediation can remain related so the assurance context is not lost.
Can management action owners see only their work?
Access can be configured at item level through roles, groups and specific users, allowing participation without broad access to every audit record.
How does Parapet support audit risk?
Audit risk remains connected to the plan, scope, controls, findings, evidence and management actions used to examine and address it.
Does adding audit work require another module?
No. Audit items, issues and remediation use the same Parapet platform capabilities available from day one.
