Audit planning for audit teams

From audit topic to finished audit package.

Audit program, document requests, interviews, schedule and communication. Created in one pass, reviewed by you, versioned in an audit proof way.

Short film: from audit topic to audit package in ProAuditMap, 21 seconds, music only. Type an audit topic, click "Generate audit package": audit program, document requests, interviews, schedule and communication, created in one pass. You review the draft, decide, approve and export to Excel and Word.

Everything an audit needs to start.

You enter the topic, scope, regulation, start date and auditor capacity. ProAuditMap builds a connected package from this, in which every document and every interview question references an audit item.

  • Audit plan and audit program

    Objective, boundaries and four to six audit dimensions with a guiding question. Each audit item comes with a target criterion, audit procedure, evidence, test steps and an effort range in hours.

  • Document requests and interviews

    A document request list with recipients and deadlines, plus interview guides per role, each referencing the relevant audit items.

  • Organisation and communication

    Phases and dates calculated in working days, roles with RACI, drafts for the announcement, document request and kick-off, plus a report template.

From topic to export.

Five steps. You get a draft, every decision stays with you.

Ten inputs are enough.

Audit topic, initial or follow-up audit, organisation size, regulation such as NIS2, DORA or ISO 27001, start date, auditor capacity, scope and package language. No personal data is requested.

Input dialog for a new audit: scope Core, package language English and the audit object Exchange Online, below it the button Generate audit package.

Built in stages.

First scope and audit dimensions, then the audit program per dimension, then document requests, interviews, roles, communication and the report template. You see the progress while it is being created.

Creation progress: nine of nine stages completed, from scope through the audit program per dimension to the correction after the consistency check.

You decide in the editor.

Edit audit items, have them rephrased, add dimensions. Standard references carry the note „to be verified“ until you confirm them.

Audit program in the editor: audit items with stage, effort in hours and framework references marked to be verified, with actions per row to rephrase, edit and confirm.

Approval without consistency errors.

A package can only be approved once no consistency errors remain open. Dates, effort and the name of the approving person are then frozen.

Approved audit in version 2 with the status Released and the note that the exports are ready, above the key figures and the audit plan.

Export to Excel, Word and ZIP.

After approval you export the audit matrix, the Word documents and a ZIP with everything. Every document carries the audit note with the name and date of approval.

Export list of the approved version: all files as a ZIP, the audit matrix as Excel and seven Word documents from the audit plan to the report template.

One tool for the whole audit year.

The audit package is the start. After that you plan, audit, report findings and follow up in the same application, with one log for everything.

Short film: the audit cycle in ProAuditMap, no sound. Annual plan with plan proposal, working paper with evidence, finding, document request in the portal of the audited unit, tracking of open findings and leadership view.
  • Plan

    Audit universe with a risk model, a plan proposal up to net capacity, resolution and acknowledgement by management. The dashboard shows eleven key figures, among them plan fulfilment per quarter.

  • Audit

    Working papers per audit line, evidence with checksum and malware scan, samples, review and closing with an archive.

  • Findings and follow-up

    Findings with condition, criterion, cause, risk and recommendation. Actions with a responsible function and due date, reminders, risk acceptance with an end date and follow-up checks.

  • Report

    Final report from the findings with a checksum of the PDF file, responses of the audited unit in the portal, board report and read-only leadership view.

All functions of the audit cycle

You review. You approve.

ProAuditMap takes the groundwork off your hands, not the judgement. Every suggestion stays visible as a suggestion until you confirm it, and every change is versioned.

Audit log of a tenant: the hash chain is intact, every action with time, person, object, details and hash.
  • Dates are calculated by code

    Schedule, totals and effort are calculated by ProAuditMap itself, in working days and with the public holidays of your state, canton or country.

  • References stay marked

    Standard references in the draft carry the note „to be verified“ until you confirm them. A package can only be approved once it has no consistency errors.

  • Every change is a version

    Whether a partial revision of the draft or your own edit: a new version is created with author, time and reason. Older versions stay readable and comparable.

Frequently asked questions

  • Which parts of an audit does ProAuditMap cover?

    Audit package, fieldwork with working papers and evidence, findings with action tracking, final report, a portal for audited units and annual planning with dashboard and leadership view. Fieldwork is included from Starter, findings, portal and annual planning from Team.

  • Can we bring our existing audit programs?

    Yes. ProAuditMap imports audit programs from Excel and Word, up to 120 audit lines per audit, with column mapping and a preview before they are accepted.

  • How do audited units take part?

    Through the portal: they deliver requested documents, respond to the draft report, report the implementation of actions and request new due dates.

  • What about co-determination?

    ProAuditMap does not evaluate by person: no key figure, no board report and no function of the leadership view aggregates data by person. A works agreement template and a privacy notice are on the works council page.
