Use Case · Internal Audit

Internal audit should provide clear assurance, not administrative overhead.

XGRC® is internal audit software that lets organisations plan, execute and manage audits in a structured, consistent way. It connects audits to risks, controls and actions on a single platform, giving full visibility across the audit lifecycle.

The problem

Disconnected tools weaken assurance.

Many organisations still manage audits across disconnected tools, which leads to delays, missed actions and weak assurance reporting.

Audit plans live in spreadsheets

Findings tracked in email or documents

Limited visibility of audit progress

No clear link between risks, controls and audit outcomes

How it works

Structured by default, connected by design.

  • Central audit planning and scheduling
  • Configurable audit checklists and templates
  • Real-time capture of findings and evidence
  • Automated action assignment and tracking
  • Integrated reporting and dashboards

One connected view of assurance

Audit activities link directly to risk management, incident management and corrective actions, so every finding traces back to a risk and forward to an action. Nothing falls between systems.

From manual to XGRC®

The same audit, without the friction.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What is internal audit software?

Internal audit software is a system for planning, executing and reporting on audits in one place, connecting each audit to the risks, controls and corrective actions it relates to, instead of managing plans and findings across spreadsheets and email.

Can XGRC® handle multiple audit types on one platform?

Yes. XGRC® supports internal audits, ISO audits, compliance audits, risk-based audits and combined assurance on the same platform, using the same findings register and action-tracking workflow.

How does XGRC® link audit findings to risk management?

Every audit finding can be linked directly to a risk and its existing controls, so a finding traces back to the risk it relates to and forward to the corrective action assigned to close it — visible on one dashboard.

Which standards does the internal audit module align to?

The audit module is aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, ISO 31000 and COSO, and the downloadable checklist reflects this alignment.
