Excellent tool for audits!
Audit Dashboard is very easy to use, for both auditors and clients. It helps track the status of audits through each of the audit phases (planning, execution, and completion). It significantly reduces the number of email exchanges and eliminates the need to send out a planning letter at the beginning of the audit, as well as updated outstanding item lists throughout the audit. Comments and queries can be added to specific requests where the client is able to see what has been uploaded to avoid misunderstandings. It makes it easier to identify where the issue areas of the file are based on how many times certain requests have been returned to the client. Definitely and increase to overall audit efficiency, and it has helped many of my audits to get started earlier than anticipated as clients will start to slowly upload documents earlier on when the list is broken down into separate requests.
CONSThe hardest part about switching to a new platform for exchanging audit documents is getting everyone on board with the changeover. However, the switch was easier than expected as most clients were able to grasp how the platform works with a simple introduction email template and access to a short how-to video. We also have some clients that are paper based and do not like having to scan and upload documents, so for these particular clients, the platform is not as useful.
Vendor Response

Nice concept but needs a little more editing to make more user friendly with more options.
Some clients enjoyed it and we are looking forward to this year when they can see all the information they sent us last year.
PROSAbility to track the information list. Ability for client to see the information they sent us last year.
CONSSometimes have problems with the search. Would be helpful if client could mark as "complete" (and item would not show in their list but would still show on accountant's list) and then accounting firm could mark as "cleared" (which would be the same and the current complete.

Helped ease PBC nightmares
It is a good investment, though abit pricey but it has been very much useful in obtaining the requried information hassle free
PROSWith the use of audit dashboard, it has allowed our staff to access all the PBC data at one place and we do not have any more cases of lost mails/lost information etc. Clients are promptly informed when they have an existing request that is not replied to and client lead time to respond has also become shorter
CONSI think what would be good is just like how the client is informed via email when the auditors put in a request, it wuld be good if the auditors also get a email whenever the client responds to the queries so that we can check.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your review, Suhaidah! We appreciate your feedback on AuditDashboard and how it has been instrumental in making client response times quicker, and your professional life more efficient. It's truly rewarding to hear that you have already derived significant value from our platform within just a few months. Did you know that each user on AuditDashboard has the ability to customize their email notifications? You can personalize the frequency and type of notifications to your preferences. Our support team will send you an email with more information. We are committed to enhancing your experience with AuditDashboard!

This enables users to have access financial data at any time
It is easy to upload and remove documents on Audit Dashboard. Audit Dashboard allows users to access financial data at any time as long as users have access to the Internet. Conventional processes involve accessing the office, computer or network where your data is stored. This can be very inconvenient when users need to refer to data quickly. Therefore, it works great for organizations with remote employees. If you need someone to access data on your behalf, they can do so, without having to login to your personal computer. Simply grant them login information, and they can access the data with their own computer, without the need to install any software.
CONSOne essential concern is data security. When being hacked, financial data could be technically compromised. Financial data might be safer when stored locally. Audit Dashboard has too many little features. It can be difficult for first time users to use Audit Dashboard without tutorials. Training can be costly. Audit Dashboard can get slow when processing or sending or interacting with huge files. Also, things get delayed due to system errors. Therefore, it can be costly for organizations to maintain the system.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your 5 Star review Hye. We're thrilled to hear you've found it easy to upload and remove documents on AuditDashboard! Security is extremely important here at AuditDashboard. That's why (1) data is encrypted in transit and at rest, (2) we use world class data centers with the highest physical security and; (3) we under go a SOC2 Type 2 Audit on an annual basis. If you ever have any questions about training or security, don't hesitate to ask. Our customer success team is here to help!

Audit dashboard was pretty easy to use, & made it easier to see what documents we gave the auditors
I think the biggest benefits were making sure we gave the auditors all their requested items, and being able to track more easily what we have given them and what we have still outstanding.
PROSI like that the ease of use when it comes to tracking the documents we have given the auditors. It makes it easy to coordinate my list of outstanding items with the auditors' list of outstanding items. To me this is a good way to save time and energy.
CONSThere were documents we had uploaded that the auditors were unaware of. I'm not sure if it can be set up to email the team for documents received, or if there is an easier way for them to see what's been given. Not sure if this is a dashboard issue or an auditor user issue.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the fantastic review Daniel! We're glad to hear that you found AuditDashboard so easy to use and that it helped you save time and energy. Automatic email notifications are easy to setup. We'll reach out to your audit team to let them know. With a click of a button they can receive an email notification each time you upload a document, leave a comment or assign a request to them.

Overall experience is positive
Streamlines audit prep. Auditors are provided with everything needed.
PROSThe paperless aspect is the most important positive for me. Ease of dragging files into the dashboard is a close second.
CONSI would like to be able to break out the balance sheet accounts and have the auditors indicate what they need for each account. I would like to be able to enter notes to the auditors if there is no information available for a certain request. I would like to have a flag for the client user to be able to indicate when I have completed a section so I can hide from my view those items that are complete.
Vendor Response
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and share some excellent feedback Debora. Each request list is fully custom. If you'd like to break out the balance sheet accounts speak with your CPA firm. Leaving notes for your auditors is as easy as leaving a comment. Great suggestion about hiding completed sections!

PROSThe software makes it easy to securely share files with our CPA firm and other staff working on our annual audit. You can easily categorize the files and know what you have or what is missing.

Quick Implementation
Our overall experience with AuditDashboard has been positive. We are particularly satisfied with the support we have received from the representative who worked with us to implement the software for a test group of engagements. He assisted with training our personnel remotely and responds timely to questions/issues. With his assistance, we successfully implemented AuditDashboard on a sample of 5-7 engagements within 4-6 weeks. MCM's mission is to help both our team and clients succeed and to provide tools to team members that ensure clients receive the best possible service. To this end, we are constantly reviewing technology advances in order to implement tools that support progressive service delivery. We have not yet completed a full cycle with AuditDashboard and therefore are still evaluating efficiencies and client feedback.
PROSThe software is easy to access and responsive to changes in users and requests. Audit personnel make changes that are seen by the client as soon as the webpage is refreshed.
CONSUsers are set up under a different section from the request list and must be added to the engagement as a second step. In addition, the email invitation to a new user is not sent automatically, which can cause a delay if the invitation is not manually initiated.
