Pros / Cons
- This program is considered very wonderful for several reasons, firstly that it provides new methods in the ways of managing business and institutions and facilitating communication by providing a suitable software environment to complete businessIt and is easy to use and its intervention in the work is very useful
- Would love integration with audit software.
- This coupled with the responsiveness of the GOAT team for any issue and the way features and improvements can be suggested and discussed, means it feels like they are a partner in the Risk Management team rather than just another software vendor.
- There are not enough templates we can implement if we are not a risk specialist.
