AuditBoard Reviews & Product Details

I like how easy AuditBoard makes it to document and test SOX controls. Once you learn the system, linking information is simple and intuitive. The platform also offers a vast library of resources, including trainings, guides, and recorded learning sessions, making it easy to find answers or get closer to a solution with a little research.

What truly stands out, though, is the community AuditBoard has built. The platform fosters knowledge-sharing on a level I’ve never experienced before—connecting me with auditors across the globe to troubleshoot solutions and discuss best practices. I’ve interacted with and learned from more auditors through AuditBoard than I ever could have through my local CPA chapter, which speaks volumes about its reach and impact.

I also like the fact so many of AuditBoard's employees come from the audit industry. They know what I am looking for or to do, and they actually come out with a lot of enhancements based on their experiences auditing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AuditBoard does not do the best with letting clients know about issues happening within their system that are impacting users and sometimes we only find out after we submit a service desk ticket in. Examples include times when we could not download our testing documents and this was a known issue affecting multiple customers, yet we did not learn that this issue was being worked on until after a ticket was submitted. Customer support does do well with working with you once a ticket is submitted which is a positive, I just think they could be more proactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think my favorite thing about Auditboard is the ability to incorporate just about any file format - whether that be excel spreadsheet, word document, pdf, outlook file, powerpoint slide, etc! Not only can you incorporate almost any file format, but you can open it for editing and when you're done, you can save it and it updates the document to include the changes that were made. Having a centralized one-stop shop for an audit department is a must, and auditoard exceeds all other competition! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price. With all the included features, a higher price is to be expected. Nonetheless, it's worth every penny! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated evidence collection, scheduled reminders for stakeholders, ability to customize permissions, ABI dashboards, and file storage. They offer extensive training, customer support, and a supportive community. The system is fairly intuitive, but it's worth extra time at the beginning to set up your implementation exactly how you'd like it. Over the past 12-18 months, we've been expanding our inventory of controls and integrating AuditBoard with other risk management processes. So far, the capabilities of AuditBoard have been receieved positively across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We rely heavily on WorkStream for distributed controllership and quarterly testing. The available ABI dashboards have some limitations when comparing different WorkStream projects to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy AuditBoard is to use. We switched from Teammate that was very basic and crashed all the time so we would always lose work. That doesn't happen in AuditBoard and is so user friendly. Very intuitive with their features and we get great support for customizations. It is easy to onboard new employees because of how intuitive the software is to use, employees jump right in after a short tutorial. I love the dashboard capabilities which are easy to customize also. These are so helpful for the management team as this is where the data and analytics can really help change the way we work. Great software all around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really nothing from my perspective but maybe from my company's perspective, the cost! It is more expensive than other solutions but guess you get what you pay for! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AuditBoard's SOXHUB module is really where the tool excels. It gave businesses the ability to generate a living and always changing risk & controls matrix. It is very straightforward and user friendly for new users.

Additionally, they continue to innovate with new features based on their customer's feedback often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While AuditBoard is fairly flexible, there are some limitations like its control hiearchy. Entity -> Process -> Subprocess really only allows you L2 to L3 process levels and you may not create more process levels than that.

I wish the SOX risk assessment feature was more robust and allowed for more streamlined mapping of control setup and chart of accounts. So currently, we still use Excel to do our scoping. Also, if you have mulitple ERPs with various charts of accounts, this gets more complex and will take hard work to map everything out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have you ever heard an auditee being pleased with being audited? Ours are and mostly because we have made it super easy for them to understand their controls and engage them in the overall process through the most user-friendly auditing platform, AuditBoard. We just recently implemented and the response has been very positive among the user community. We have one single hub for all risks and controls. The workflow capability makes it well-integrated where the auditees can go to their dashboards and make a one-stop shop for all things risks and controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a CPA so cost is always an area that can be improved. We would like it to be less costly so that it becomes a no-brainer for all audit organizations. We had to build a business case and it was a hard sell because of its price so hopefully as they dominate the market, they can lower their cost and it will be a win-win.

I like having a centralized location and tracking tool for all of our audit engagements to be accessed every day. It is realatively easy for users to get notified. Customer support has been great in helping us identify solutions. AuditBoard Sync integrates with Microsoft Office fairly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact that Excel links do not update and the reporting features are a bit clunky. Our implementer did not understand auditing or our needs and we had to undo everything she had done and start over on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AuditBoard is an amazing tool for managing multiple audit programs, and all that that entails. Workflows, reporting, narratives and testing becomes a breeze and is so much better than trying to manage all of that manually on a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As helpful as auditboard is, the customizations are still a bit tedious to implement without the help of auditboard helpdesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
