5th Edition: Make it simple

5th Edition: Make it simple

I hate Apple.

OK, I don't HATE Apple, but I have never liked using Apple products. Why? Because I liked to open a DOS prompt and mess around with different inputs to see what would happen. To start up a PC and right-click something. To have the freedom to buy a printer that's a different brand than my PC. Even today, AirPods work much better with an iPhone than Android.

My wife loves her iPhone. Hates Android.

Why? Because iPhones are extremely simple to use. Very user-friendly.

1-Page User Manuals

OK, I'll admit, this might be a long-shot goal, but I'm aiming for single-page cheat sheets for each type of user for this software. For example, hire a new staff auditor, give them the "testing" document, and it should have all they need to use the software for that task.

Yes, support documentation will be longer and more detailed (not to mention how-to videos), but we want you to have the freedom to quickly learn what you need to do your job. This software should make internal auditing more efficient and reduce your stress, not add to it.

Tell us!

We're trying to make it as easy as possible for you to tell us what you would like to see in this software. You can still click this link and complete a very short list of questions, you can e-mail me at [email protected] and now you can click the below link to schedule a quick Zoom discussion.

The facts so far

We'll keep a running list of details we think you'll appreciate about this new software solution. Here's where we are as of today, August 9th, 2022.

  • Created by internal audit experts, for internal auditors, with your direct input
  • Made in the USA. Designed, coded, built... nothing outsourced outside of our borders
  • NO user license fees.?There will be a reasonable implementation fee, then a flat annual fee.
  • Transparent pricing.?Our fees will be posted online. No second-guessing the cost, no hidden fees. Most updates to improve the software will be free, there may be pricing tiers for more advanced features as they are rolled out, but even those fees will be transparent and posted online.
  • This will be as user-friendly as possible.?For IA Directors/CAEs, IA Managers and Staff, as well as Executives and those you are auditing. You shouldn't need hours of training to understand how to make a tic mark or view a reporting dashboard.
  • No forced list of controls or test attributes.?You most likely already have a control matrix and testing attributes for each control. Your details will be uploaded into the software the way you want them.
  • Dashboards. Fully customizable dashboards which show the user relevant data, quickly and clearly.
  • Single-page cheat sheets for all user types
