The growing demands of compliance have significantly increased the workload for most Audit departments. Manual processes that involve recording, tracking, and reporting on audits and manual findings in spreadsheets, Lotus Notes, Sharepoint, and other generic tools have failed to scale and meet the demands and timeframes for conducting these audits. Organizations are finding it critical to introduce efficiencies, increase the degree of interaction between team members, decrease the turnaround time, and to maintain a high degree of transparency for the audit process. There is also increased pressure for auditors to be more thorough and consistent in their auditing methods.

Rsam's technology platform is a web-based, purpose-built, comprehensive risk & compliance management solution used by Audit departments for organizations that automates many of the manual processes associated with Audits and will centrally record Audit findings. Rsam is used by Auditors for:
Self Assessment prior to Onsite audits
Distribute questionnaires and audit checklists to auditees prior to the audit itself. This greatly reduces time during the audit, increases credibility with the auditee by providing them a 'leg-up', and helps focus audit time on the areas that require most attention. Rsam's comprehensive questionnaire and checklist controls greatly reduce the time required to complete an online questionnaire, eliminating the need for training, and increasing accuracy in the results


Record, Track & Manage Audit Findings
Record "ad-hoc" audit findings (risks, issues, vulnerabilities) and associated recommendations, escalation and follow-ups. Such findings may come from interviews, onsite visit, and other forms of correspondence.


Control Testing
Manage, track, and report on control tests, including simple pass-fail and / or comprehensive test plan. Rsam can also be used to schedule and track recurring tests, and track action plans when test results are unfavorable. Tests are assigned and tracked through Rsam's role-based user management.


Custom Audit Automation Solution
Organizations can build their own Audit tracking application on the Rsam platform to improve audit efficiencies and productivity of their entire audit process including risk assessments, issue tracking, reporting, incident tracking and more.


All these solutions are powered by Rsam's Foundation Services with rich features such as dynamic workflows, email notification, LDAP, reporting, dashboards and more.
